Katharine Hepburn’s #1 Trick for the Best Brownies Is Totally Brilliant

Countless Allrecipes community members—and the whole of our staff—are a little (okay, a lot) obsessed with brownies.

On a constant quest to take them to the next level, we have tested and perfected Mmm-Mmm Better Brownies. We’ve got the Best Brownies. And if this recipe could talk, it would say “Not so fast, I’m, Absolutely the Best Brownies.” We can’t forget Brooke’s Best Bombshell Brownies and The Ultimate Brownies, either.

The competition for the ultimate, absolute best brownie of all time is stiff, so we’ll leave that up to you to decide which earns your trophy. But before you make your final call, we have another contender to add to the mix after scouring the archives of the PBS project, The History Kitchen: Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies.

We’ll be dishing up the recipe below, but before we do, we have to take a moment to highlight the silver screen icon’s remarkably simple secret that makes her brownies—and honestly, any brownie recipe—better.

A Good Day to Die #BookTour

What 276 executions taught a death row chaplain about life

A Good Day To Die:

What 276 executions taught a death row chaplain about life

by Carina Bergfeldt

Genre: Christian Biography

He is the last person to touch them before they die.
His face is the last they see before they are executed.
He stands there with one last goal: to get them to heaven.

276 TIMES CHAPLAIN Jim Brazzil has sat in death’s waiting room. He has listened to confessions in the eleventh hour. The last moment of the condemned, when everything bubbles up to the surface and they have to share.


Now Jim is the one dying, ready for his last confession.

THE AWARD-WINNING Swedish journalist Carina Bergfeldt and the American prison pastor start a conversation that ends up changing both their lives. He is older, patient, and wise. She is young, restless, and angry.

IN HIS HOUSE in the Texan countryside, their discussions about death and sorrow, hope, atonement, and love create a magical journey.

How are we supposed to live our lives?
Can one always be forgiving?
And what day is actually a good day to die?


Praise:

”Brilliant, Bergfeldt! … Touching, uplifting, and awful at the same time.”

“A book to bury yourself in. Whether or not you have a strong faith, it is healing to take part in their conversation.”

A touching and disturbing book, but also an experience. Maybe even an awakening.”
