Jason’s Long Day at the Pottery Shop Brownies

After a long day at the Potter’s Wheel, and/or firing recent creations,  Jason Serres’ “Long Day at the Pottery Shop Brownies” are they perfect way to end the day.

– Combine melted hot butter, oil and sugar together in a medium sized bowl. Whisk well for about a minute.  

– Add eggs and vanilla, neat until lighter in color ( about another minute)

-Sift in flour cocoa powder, and salt 

– Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. (do NOT over beat as to protect texture of brownies) 

– Pour batter in prepared pan smoothing out evenly.
