HOW TO MAKE BROWNIES WITH CAKE MIX

According to Amy of Prochein Amy, the short answer is:

Increase the fat, decrease the liquid

Longer answer at Amy's place.

Thank you Amy. I didn't have a cookbook to compare brownie & cake recipes, and bare-bones brownie & cake recipes are a bear to find via Google.

That's why you ask some who knows how to cook or..........read the directions on the box. :-)

Is it admitting to knowing entirely too much about brownies to say that the Duncan Hines mix is better than all the others?

Ok never mind then.

I do explain how to make "cakier" rather than fudgier brownies.

This is a fine example of the difference between women and men. My explanation was a novell-ette and yours was 6 words and a comma.

Thanks. I'll have to experiment with this. I have a recipe for making cookies with cake mix but they came out too cakey.

When do you put the pot in....

Best way is to heat it in the fat (I use butter) and then (unless it is really highgrade and flavorful) skim it off. THC is fat soluble, which is why it shows up for so long in drug testing.
