There are certain things to keep on hand in case of an emergency—a first aid kit, some water and food—and then there are recipes to keep in mind for minor emergencies. We usually turn topantry comfort food dinners, but Nigella Lawson just added a new recipe to our list.
Lawson’srecipe for Emergency Browniesis so simple, you probably have all of the ingredients you need on hand. All you’ll need are some standard baking ingredients: butter, light brown sugar, maple syrup, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, kosher salt, one egg, vanilla extract, walnuts and chocolate chips.
To bring this quick treat to your own kitchen, combine butter, sugar and syrup in a small saucepan. (You can substitute golden syrup or light corn syrup, if that’s what you have on hand.) Warm the mixture gently, until you end up with melted butter and dissolved sugar, then remove your pan from the heat.
It’s easy to believe that this is an “all-time go-to recipe for a quick dessert,” as some fans say. We’ll be adding all of these ingredients to our next grocery list—that way we can have these brownies whenever an emergency strikes.
