TWD - Tribute to Katharine Hepburn Brownies




I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.
Katharine Hepburn

This week is a special TWD, because we are baking with a non-TWD host, Lisa of Surviving Oz, who is the designer of our brilliant new logo:



She has chosen the Tribute to Katharine Hepburn brownies.

Apparently, Kate once said that you should never have too much flour in your brownies, and these brownies are a testament to that. They are of the gooey, fudgy variety rather than the cakey, firm type.

I baked my brownies according to the directions, and I think they were just perfect. The chocolate chunks were just on the right side of oozey, and when served warm - mamma mia, they were devine! This has to be one of my favourite Dorie recipes by a country mile.

To check out how the other TWD bakers went with these brownies, please check out the TWD blogroll. Here's hoping that Kate would approve.

    I like fudgy brownies more than the cakey ones as well. Nice job!

    Perfectly fudgey - and that's the way brownies should be!

    I must admit, I like chewy fudgey rather than gooey fudgey, but these were quite good! Yours look wonderful.

    They look fabulous - I have no doubt that Kate would approve! Once I get the baking time thing worked out, these might become my go-to chewy brownie.

    Wow, your brownies look exceptional! I love the gooey factor but I think I could have baked it a minute or two longer so it would have been easier to cut. Your brownies look perfectly cut!

    Hi Jules, the fudgy ones are good, yeah?

    LOL - thanks Megan.

    Thanks Jill - believe me, warm is good.

    Hi Maria, do try them - Lisa has the recipe.

    Thanks Wendy :)

    Hi Caitlin, I will gratefully take either (as long as "fudgy" does not equate to "undercooked").

    Agreed Steph.

    Good to hear Tammy.

    Thanks Amanda - sinfully good.

    Hi Lorraine - I love the new logo too. Hope Kate enjoys the publicity from afar.

    They were amazing Leslie - I would love to have some left.

    Oh, do try these Ivy - they are very good.

    Hi Susan, for sure - they are delicious.

    So true Mary.

    Thanks Clivia - I'll pop round when you make them again ;)

    Thanks Isabelle - they were delish, weren't they.

    Thanks Teanna. Went searching for a fun quote.

    Hi Cathy, I think they are my go to brownie - love 'em.

    Thanks Kayte, they were fun :)

    Hi Duckie, I admire her very much.

    Hi Kim, they were great, weren't they.

    Thanks FoodCreate, you have a wonderful day too.

    Thanks LA - "fudgy" is hard to judge, but I thought these were done just right.

    Thanks Madam Chow - the cinamon didn't dominate here.

    LOL Tammy- that is restraint!

    Hi Pamela, thanks - could go another round of these any day.

    Thanks Em - I think these deserve the rave.

    Thanks Gloria. I checked out your other torta and it looks great.

    LOL - thanks TeaLady.

    Hi Rosie, thanks - they were deliciously decadent.
