These are just getting better and better.<br /><br />Sarah - I may have been mistaken with these and done Nigella a disservice. Now these brownies are a few days old, they are truly good - fudgy and nutty. I've made Nigella's cream cheese brownies before and gave them a bit more of a rave review.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-32931842401426879362011-01-18T00:19:13.108+00:002011-01-18T00:19:13.108+00:00I love a wonderful brownie...

I think I might be a bit of a brownie connoisseur for I do reject brownies which people around me devour quite happily so I'm in full understanding that you might get a batch that aren't up to scratch.<br /><br />If you're looking for another Nigella brownie recipe, I recommend the cream cheese ones from Domestic Goddess, I love them.<br /><br />Thanks so much for entering the first Forever Nigella and I hope to see you again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509940451345540183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-61255246636756412562011-01-17T21:05:22.755+00:002011-01-17T21:05:22.755+00:00Ive made these quite often and i definitely agree ...Ive made these quite often and i definitely agree that they improve if left for a day - but who wants to leave a brownie for a day!!!freerangegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535925508133692539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-16021169951345871162011-01-17T20:13:52.476+00:002011-01-17T20:13:52.476+00:00Kitchenmaid Before I started this blog I only ever...Kitchenmaid Before I started this blog I only ever used wholemeal spelt or wheat for cooking and baking - using white flour is quite a new departure for me.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-40203995740480446662011-01-17T01:46:07.727+00:002011-01-17T01:46:07.727+00:00Here was I thinking that your house was always ful...Here was I thinking that your house was always full of brownies - what a surprise to find you had to make some to satisfy a craving!

These have improved with age, so I'm not as disappointed.<br /><br />C - too true, it would be awful to feel there were no more brownie recipes to try.<br /><br />Baking Addict - I usually use wholemeal flour in brownies as it's a squidgy dense texture that is needed. I think it work's perfectly well.<br /><br />Brittany - thank you - they've improved with age. There certainly seems to be plenty of interest in the Forever Nigella event.<br /><br />Priya - thank you<br /><br />Ocean Breezes - not sure I'm a brownie expert, but I do like them and they are so easy to make. These were good, but as I said in the post, others I've made were better.<br /><br />CityHippy - I usually use wholemeal flour in brownies, it makes me feel I'm not being quite so naughty ;-)<br /><br />Johanna - this is the 3rd grey winter's day they've been cheering me up, so they are earning their keep :)<br /><br />Gillian - one cannot make brownies and then not eat them - what sacrilege!<br /><br />Janice - OK, you've persuaded me.<br /><br />Northern Snippet - glad the brownies worked for you. Would be interested to know which almond cakes worked and which didn't. How about a blog post about it?<br /><br />Liz - greedy as I am, I couldn't possibly eat a whole batch in one sitting, even with CTs help. But they've actually got better with age.<br /><br />Grazing Kate - that's my standard way of making brownies and it usually works well. One of the main points to brownies are that they are fast to make and simple and as you say not much to clear up.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-22988483620347165252011-01-16T18:54:13.977+00:002011-01-16T18:54:13.977+00:00like the way you've simplified the recipe.
