Yet the brownies survive.įollowing Heatter’s directions to the letter will lead to a slightly scorched cake, an intentional result that flirts nicely with the brownies’ intensely chocolaty bite.
Name the screw-up, and I’ve surely done it. One valuable lesson that I’ve absorbed from those countless iterations - aside from the unfailingly enthusiastic reception it receives - is the recipe’s forgiving nature, a quality that all bakers can appreciate. I can recite it from memory, that’s how many times I’ve prepared it, after a former colleague introduced me its splendors in the late 1990s. The PBB is a legacy of the long and illustrious career of cookbook legend Maida Heatter. That it is an almost ridiculously easy recipe to prepare - although, at first glance, it might not read that way - only piles on the reasons why this crusty-topped bar should be in every chocolate lover’s baking repertoire. Along with death, taxes and Meryl Streep landing another Oscar nomination, add this to the “life’s certainties” pile: the spontaneous “Omigod” that follows a first bite into a Palm Beach Brownie.Īll of the standard brownie superlatives are inadequate for this Towering Monument to Fudgy Goodness.
