Hi Betty, is it 350 degree celsius or Fahrenheit?

@ChocolateTaiyaki It is Fahrenheit. Thanks for asking!

Hi Betty!
I was just wondering why I never see you stirring/mixing ingredients with a whisk. Do you not like them?

@YesterdaysWind I use them occasionally; you probably just didn’t catch the videos where they were used. Whisks are perfect for some tasks, but if I need something beaten, I use an electric blender or an electric mixer.

thank you for sharing this! just in time for thanksgiving, im not much of a baker but these seem easy enough and look great!

hi @bettyskitchen, i’ve read your instructions in the previous comments for unsweetened cocoa powder, i just want to verify:
3 tbsp unswtd cocoa = 1 oz. of chocolate shown in your video
1 tbsp butter/oil/shortening = 1 stick of butter shown in your video
your direction was melt 1 tbsp butter + mix 3 tbsp cocoa for every 1 oz of chocolate square. i’m not sure if the stick of butter in the original recipe will still be added.. sorry i’m confused. thanks in advance betty.

and also @bettyskitchen, if my baking pan is 2 inches in height, do i need to fill the batter pan-full or just half-way of the pan? let’s say 1 inch in height of batter. because i’m not sure if it will rise or not (bec. of the self-rising flour), and if the pan is full, and it rise after baking, it might pop out of the pan. thanks in advance betty.

Betty, I only have all purpose flour. What do I add which will equal Self-Rising flour ?

I have baking soda and creme of tartar powder.

@indiantarzansjane Betty, can I melt my squares of Bakers chocolate in the microwave first, then add to the butter ?

@durgaaa For each cup of all purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to be equivalent to 1 cup of self-rising flour.

@bettyskitchen made the brownies.. and they were DELICIOUS! Couple mistakes i made.. the pan size was a little bigger than 8×8, so they were a little flatter than i would’ve wanted. Also, the brownies stuck to the pan .. no worries though, we were all happy to scrape every last bit into our mouths.. hehe. Thanx!
