Making brownies?

Question

When making brownies out of a box do I blend with a whipping blender?? And if so how long do I do that to??

Answer 1

I normally just use a wooden spoon and stir until everything is moistened (about a minute). A few small lumps won't hurt brownies. Then I add in chopped walnuts and stir a little more.

Answer 2

The most important thing in making brownies, besides everyone above's telling NOT to use a powered mixer, is to put walnuts in the brownies!!

Try this as well, when the brownies are DONE, leave the oven on. Take the brownies out & spinkle them with mini-marshmallows & toss them under the broiler & WATCH them carefully. Remove when the marshmallows start to melt & become just barely toasted. Let cool completely before cutting

Answer 3

if you are ready to become a brownie expert! Just follow these simple instructions. This recipe can yield 12 small brownies, or 9 large brownies. (what with a blender???)

Answer 4

NO MAM! use a wooden spoon excess mixing can cause brownies to be tuff and dissatisfying... just like making muffins only stir until everything is moistened !

Answer 5

I'm not sure what a "whipping blender" is, but a rubber spatula is usually sufficient to incorporate all ingredients together.

Answer 6

no! use a WOODEN SPOON.
