RavenFlyer Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 So like I said I have been in a baking mood lately so I decided to make some brownies with rose water. Ingredients: 1 stick of butter1/2 cup cocoa powder 1 cup sugar2 eggs2 TBSP rose water1/2 cup flour1 teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 350 degrees butter an 8x8 pan and set asidein a large sauce pan over medium high heatmelt the butterremove from the heat add the cocoa powder and stir well add the sugar, again stirring well let the mixture cool for 5 minutes or so add the eggs beating well after each egg then add the rose waterin a small bowl mix the flour and salt together pour into the wet ingredients and stir well do not over beat just stir to combine, making sure there aren't any flour spots left bake for 25 minutes then turn oven off and let them cool 10 minutesremove from oven and cool completely These are a little too salty for my taste so next time I am cutting the salt to a 1/2 teaspoon. But they are really good otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenFlyer Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 SO I took my brownies in a box with me today, and had people sample them. The owner of the local Indian restaurant loved them, and told me to back a few pans and he would buy them for the buffet! and everyone else who ate them loved them. So maybe I will leave the salt content alone. I'm just pretty sensitive to the flavor of salt because I never eat it on my food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jevne Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Really nice . . . too bad my local store just happens to be out of rose water. I'll be making these soon, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenFlyer Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 you can make your own rose water. all you need is a large pot, a stone to place in the center of the pot, a mason jar, and four quarts of rose petals, and ice Place the rose petals in the pan around the stone Place the mason jar on top of the stone Fill up the pot with water just until it covers the rose petals by about an inch place the lid to the pot upside so the point of the lid hangs over the mouth of the mason jar heat the water and rose petals to a boil, and then turn down to a simmer put a tray or two of ice into the upturned lid (This is a home made still) Every twenty minutes or so remove the lid and dip out a few tablespoons of the water from the mason jarWhen you get to the having a quart of water its time to stop (as there won't be much rose water left at this point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jevne Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Seeing as how I don't have four quarts of rose petals, I may have to wait for the store to restock rose water. :P Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenFlyer Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 HAHA yeah, it takes a LOT of roses to get a little water. And even more to get the oil. Thats why 100% pure rose essential oil will run you $70-$130 dollars a 1/2 ounce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jevne Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Apparently, I am not supposed to make these brownies. As I approached the shelf at the store, containing the last bottle of rose water, some lady accidently runs her cart into the shelf, knocking the bottle off. It shattered on the floor. Fucking seriously? I am just going to make some brownies and eat them, indignantly. So there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikki Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I was watching a movie the other day, Rose Water Soufflé was a menu choice in a restaurant scene. Couldn't help but think of you, RF. I've got to try this one day. :cloud9: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
