brownie-de-pistachoThis week in the Saucepolis’ oven we propose you a delicious recipe and full of chocolate that will delight the whole family.
The coverage cupcake recipes are always a hit, and in this case we have chocolate doubly, even more.
As we usually make, we have used less sugar than what the recipe indicates.. We also had a little confusion with the coverage and we put FOUR times the amount needed of maple syrup, as a result the coverage remained a chocolate milkshake impossible to keep the cake. Fortunately we were able to add another bar of chocolate to the mix and the problem was resolved.
As important tip, let the brownies cool completely before putting the cover, if not it will overflow and it will be impossible to keep on top of cake. If it gets too liquid add more chocolate until you may obtain the right consistency.

As always, we start with the ingredients for 12 to 16 units:
For the brownie
- 175 g. unsalted soft butter and a little more for greasing pan
- 120g chopped black chocolate

paso-6-brownie-cappuccinoAlthough we are not big fans of coffee, the family is, and as this Sunday there was a family lunch we decided to experiment with a rather original recipe (this time the brownie did not reach the capital Saucepolis but with the recipe improved we promise a Sunday with “cappuccino”), but not less simple.
It’s about coffee brownies with white chocolate that taste and look like an authentic Italian cappuccino made cake.
This week we modify the recipe again significantly reducing the amount of sugar, which we have even eliminated from coverage, and we had some problems… The sugar makes the cover to thicken and harden, is like the ‘cement’ of the mixture, so if you decide to remove it, you will have to replace it with another ingredient. We have doubled the amount of chocolate, and we used the fridge to solidify it before.
However we give you the original proportions of sugar if you prefer the extrasweet version ;)

As important tip, bring out the butter from the refrigerator an hour before cooking to make is soft and to avoid hurting your wrists while you make the brownie mix. If you cut into cubes rather than adding the whole block you will see how it is easier to make the mixture.

As always, we start with the ingredients for 12 to 16 units:

For the brownie
- 225 g. unsalted soft butter and a little more for greasing the pan.
- 180 (225g). powder brown sugar or beans if you have no food processor
- 225g. self-rising flour (yeast), if you have just the flour add 8g. of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon more of baking powder
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 (1) teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons of instant coffee dissolved in 2 tablespoons of boiling water
To cover
- 240g. chopped white chocolate
- 50g. butter
- 3 tablespoons milk
- The original recipe also includes 175 g of icing sugar, but we felt that was too much and we have replaced it with chocolate
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Utensils:
- A square pan, about 20 x 20 cm.
- Baking paper (at the supermarket, you find it in the area of aluminium foil)
- A large mixing bowl
- A medium bowl beat eggs for beaten the eggs
- A medium bowl to cover
- A pot to cook in a double-boiler
- A rubber spatula
- Whisks to mix
Instructions:
1. 1. We turn on the oven to 180 º.
2. 2. We grease
3. 3. We cut a square of baking paper with the size of the base of the mold and place it over the butter (only the base)
BROWNIE
1. 1. In a large bowl mix flour, baking powder and cocoa
2. 2. Add the eggs, the butter diced and the dissolved coffee and mix well with the rods until we have a smooth paste without traces of pieces of butter
3. 3. We put the mixture into the mold and we extend it with the spatula until evenly distributed in the mold
Bake it for 35-40 minutes in the low position of the oven and check pricking the center with a knife. It must come out clean or almost clean. In all the brownies it’s important not to over-bake them.
We took the oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes. After stripper on a wire rack and let cool completely. Once cool we can prepare the coverage.
COVERAGE
1. 1. We put all ingredients in a medium bowl and place it to cook in a double-boiler: in a saucepan with water over medium heat.
2. 2. We mixed with the straw until blended. Remove from heat and wait till it is warm and more pasty. Spread the mixture over the brownie using a spatula.
3. 3. Let cool until solid. We use the refrigerator because the coverage we were left too liquid.

When cool and solid coverage sprinkle with cocoa powder and cut into small squares.
Bon appétit!

paso8-comer-brownie-arandanos-y-crema-agriaIn our second week of life, from ‘not all brownies …’ we propose a very simple recipe, quick and of course delicious.

This time there will be chocolate in the brownie, but also blueberries and sour cream. The sour cream is not very popular in Spain, although in northern and central Europe, is widely used in both baking and in cooking. When we get tired of the brownies, I will post a recipe for Swedish pastries, to see if I can get you to join the fan club of the cake of carrots.

By the way, you can see the images in the new collection of photographs that we opened on Flickr by clicking here: Saucepolis breakfasts.

Brownie with blueberry and sour cream

Let’s start with the ingredients for 6-8 people:

For the brownie:

  • 120 g. + a bit more (to grease) unsalted butter
  • 140 g. of plain flour with ½ of the royal baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons pure unsweetened cocoa
  • 200 g. brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 120 g. of blueberries, if possible fresh or frozen, if not, dried.

The coverage:

  • 200 ml sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon of icing sugar (if you do not like the sweet you can skip)
  • 1 tablespoon of flour with a pinch of baking powder
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla powder

Utensils:

  • A square pan, about 20 x 20 cm. The one we have is from IKEA and it cost us about 3 €
  • A medium saucepan
  • A large mixing bowl
  • A medium bowl to beat the eggs
  • Another medium bowl to mix the coverage
  • A rubber spatula (you also can find it in IKEA for less than 1 €)
  • Wire whips for whisking and mixing

Instructions:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180º C (356º F)
  • 2. Grease the pan

BROWNIE

  • 1. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, the sugar, and the cocoa. Mix until you get a paste.
  • 2. Retire from the heat
  • 3. Beat the two eggs
  • 4. Mix in the large mixing bowl the flour with the baking powder, the eggs, and the content of the saucepan. Mix with the spatula
  • 5. Add the blueberries and mix.
  • 6. Spread evenly into the prepared pan

COVERTURE

  • 1. Mix all the ingredients in a medium bowl
  • 2. Mix with the wire whips chips
  • 3. Put the mixing on the top of the brownie
  • 4. Bake

Bake for 30 minutes and check by clicking with a skewer. It should come out clean, but do not overbake!, because it would be dry, and the idea is right the opposite, it must be fresh.

Later, cool in pan and cut into small squares (there should be around 12 or 9 pieces)

¡Bon appétit!

The Spanish Omelet in the Saucepolis breakfast

It’s not easy to make from the usual and normal, something different and noble.

There’s nothing more common than the Spanish Omelet. However, the Spanish Omelet from the Hotel Sauce deserves the first place. The different elements, its texture and its right time of cooking join together to make it tempting and fantastic. Simply special.

Moreover, if you discover the Pili’s permanent smile, the artist, what else can we say!

You’re delighted when you start the day with this breakfast, omelette included, and the feeling of a close and open smile. Congratulations Pili!
