Food for the gods

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

Ingredients :

500 g. of pancake mix
500 g. of butterscotch brownie mix
2-225 g. bricks of butter (please use real butter)
6 tbsps. of molasses
6 tbsps. of corn syrup
2 eggs
3/4 c. of water
2 c. of roasted and salted macadamia nuts
2 c. of raisins

Cooking procedure :

Note that I used an electric mixer to make this dessert. Tha batter was too heavy for hand mixing.

If you’re using unsalted nuts, you will need to add salt to the batter. Around half a teaspoonful. Otherwise, it will be too sweet.

Sift together the pancake and butterscotch brownie mixes.

Cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, molasses and corn syrup.

Gradually add the pancake-brownie mix mixture to the butter mixture, mixing as you add. Pour in the water gradually. Mix just until blended. The batter will be very heavy.

Fold in the nuts (chop them if you wish; I preferred them whole) and raisins.

Pour the batter into two 9×13 baking pans (no need to grease them) and bake in a 180oC oven for 20-25 minutes. To make sture they would be chewy, I siwtched off the oven after 18 minutes and let the food for the gods sit in the hot oven for another 10 minutes.

Cool the food for the gods in the pans. Cut while warm.

Wrap them individually or place each piece in colorful paper cups.

If you do not intend to serve them immediately, place in airtight freezer containers and keep in the coldest part of the fridge.

    ogz, possible causes: 1) temperature too high or 2) baking pan too small.

    suggestion: some asian food stores carry the Philippine White King Butterscotch Brownie Mix. It costs about $2.50 or so.
