Betty’s Decadent Brownies

Dish Description
My family always complained that baked goods that were kosher tasted terrible, so I took my regular brownie recipe and created a flour and leavening-free version that tastes just as good as the non-Passover version!
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons matzo meal
  • 1/2 cup potato starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8×8 inch square pan.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the unsweetened chocolate. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, and pour in the chocolate and butter, then stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together the matzo meal, potato starch and salt. Use a spoon to stir into the chocolate mixture until well blended. Mix in the walnuts or chocolate chips if using. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the brownies are dry on top and begin to pull away from the sides.
