The most effective a part of making brownies isn’t the brownies, it’s the clear up. That’s when all that gooey remnant batter has nowhere to go however within the trash or in your stomach. Clearly, the planet wants you to scale back waste, so you’ve got an obligation to carry out. Whereas I might by no means cease you from consuming the fudgy scrapings immediately, I’ve a scrumptious proposition: Use the leftover batter to make brownie toast.
The thought of toasting batter on a slice of bread is a mirrored image of the favored French snack, bostock, or frangipane toast. Frangipane is an almond batter with sugar, butter, and eggs, and it may be utilized in quite a few pastries. When it bakes, the egg cooks and the combination turns into one thing of a buttery, dense cake. Sound acquainted? Frangipane shares a number of elements with the brownie, and has an analogous consistency. However let’s make it chocolate.
After you get the principle batch of brownies within the oven, smear the leftover brownie batter onto a chunk of toast. Pop the toast into the oven (heck, it’s already on 350°F). You need to use a sheet pan or place the toast rigorously on the rack if you happen to prefer to dwell dangerously. Relying on how a lot batter you’ve got on the toast and if you happen to like well-cooked or gooey brownies, the time will differ by a couple of minutes, someplace between 10-Quarter-hour. The floor of the brownie could have a skinny, shiny, crackly pores and skin identical to the common batch of brownies, and the underside and edges of the bread will probably be properly toasted. Every chew delivers a tennis match of textures: First it’s crunchy toast on the underside, then sticky, chewy brownie above, then again to the bread, smooth and tender beneath the brownie layer.
When you’re at superior brownie toast ranges and you retain brownie batter in your fridge particularly to make this toast, you may air fry it to shave off a couple of minutes. Set the air fryer to 300°F on the “bake” setting, and put the chocolatey toast in for 8-10 minutes. I used a field combine from Betty Crocker, however this can work with any brownie batter. Brioche slices are my favourite for candy toast snacks—the malty, eggy flavors are a pleasant complement—however I can see something from a cinnamon raisin bagel to a crusty sourdough doing justice for brownie toast. It’s easy, satisfying, and a very good switch-up to downing uncooked batter off the spoon. Surprisingly, you would possibly even discover you occur to have much more “leftover” batter for your self the following time you whip up a batch of brownies.
