Pili nut butterscotch brownies
Until about two weeks ago, I used to bake butterscotch brownies using boxed brownie mixes. The Maya brand, in particular, is reasonably priced and it’s all just a matter of adding eggs, water, oil and mixing them all together. Not that ready mixes taste bad or anything but one has to progress somehow, right? So, I make my butterscotch brownies from scratch these days.
The recipe for butterscotch brownies is from my sister-in-law, Susan. It is the same basic recipe that I used for making my chocolate and almond cookie squares a few weeks ago which looked kinda pale because I used light brown sugar instead of the required dark brown sugar. I used dark brown sugar this time (a quick trip to the supermarket took care of that). For a decidedly Filipino twist, I mixed in half a cup of chopped pili nuts to this batch of butterscotch brownies. And, for added delicious decadence, I stirred in some chocolate morsels as well.
