This week we made Katharine Hepburn Brownies. Apparently, Katharine Hepburn was famous for her brownies. She liked a dense brownie with very little flour. This recipe is a tribute to her style of brownie, not the exact recipe that Katharine used.
These brownies do indeed have very little flour. They are dense and fudge-like, which is what I prefer over cake-like brownies. This is an easy recipe to make and the brownies are quite good. I love the addition of cinnamon and lots of nuts.
You can find the recipe for these brownies at the adorable blog Surviving Oz. http://www.survivingoz.com/2009/07/lisa-vs-tribute-to-katherine-hepburn.html

Weren't these delicious? I also like mine dense and fudge-like. Yours look perfect on both counts!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I love the brownies posed with the whipped cream and strawberry! Nice job. These were fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWow, the nuts in your brownies really stand out! What kind of nuts did you use and did you use more than 1 cup? It looks super! I like my brownies fudgey too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting!
ReplyDeleteI used slivered almonds and I just used up what was left in the bag; I think I went a bit overboard with the nuts, but Dave and I both love almonds.
Your brownies look delicious! I'm glad you were such a big fan! I tend to prefer cake-like brownies so these were a bit too fudgy for me.
ReplyDeleteI thought those looked like almonds -- my favorite. These were so good...
ReplyDeleteYour brownies look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteoh wow, Look at all that fudge just asking to be eaten up! Thank you for the recipe link. These look sinful!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! Those look super delicious, can you send one to me? :)
ReplyDeleteThese brownies were as good (well, almost) as KH's movies. YOurs look great.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the almonds were delicious! Your brownies look so fudgey and yummy, I'm wishing we hadn't inhaled ours so that I could go eat one right now!
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning photos - both of the brownies and Katharine! Your brownies look so good with the whipped cream! And I'm not a fan of nuts in brownies, but the almond addition has me intrigued. I think I'd like that!
ReplyDeleteAgree with everybody, if only i could a real bite of it through the screen.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for commenting!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Teanna!
ReplyDeleteKatharine Hepburn was so beautiful all throughout her life, wasn't she?
I usually take photos in the middle of the night because that's when I cook, but I made these brownies during the day and the photos turned out better than usual.
