YOGURT BROWNIES(EGGLESS)

in , on Tuesday, March 20, 2012

       As I have mentioned in this post, I am craving for brownies now and then since the time I tasted them… I badly wanted to try this Yogurt brownie recipe, after I found it in the Library borrowed Nita Mehta’s cook book. It was very simple to try and also liked the fact that it had no egg!

Yogurt brownies,without egg

       I actually tried this recipe twice. Since this was the first experience in making a brownie, the first time I was not sure if the consistency was right,I baked for right time and so on. Also the recipe had a measurement of water that said ‘approx.’ That was not a good sign for a beginner baker like me! So the first time,having the cake batter’s consistency in my mind,I almost doubled the water and you can guess the end result of the brownie. Though it tasted good,I was not at all happy with the texture…

         Then I asked few of my friends who have brownie baking experience and they made me clear with few points. So I was finding opportunity to try again. Then soon I tried it again with less water as mentioned and the tip ‘bake for more time and till the crust becomes crisp’ from Vibaa worked out for this recipe. I baked for more time and waited till the crust was formed well. Now I realized what mistake I did before, I just inserted a tooth pick and when it came out clean I stopped baking even before the mentioned time in the original recipe! That was a big big mistake. I think its all in the game when we try a new venture/recipe !! As sharmi always tell to me, I have to buy smaller baking pans to try more frequently…

Yogurt brownies

Sending this to Divya’s on going brownie event,in her space. Me too waiting for the event round up to hop on the brownie collections!!

Notes:

  • I used salted butter in this recipe. So if you are using unsalted,you have to add a pinch of salt in the batter.
  • I just loved the tanginess in the recipe,very very mild though,the yogurt and mixed fruit jam is the best I love in the recipe.
