How were brownies created?!


Question: How were brownies created!?
Answers:
A chocolate brownie, also known as a brownie, Bangor brownie or Boston brownie, is a small, rich, chocolate baked cake-slice, named after its brown color!.
Brownies may contain dairy ingredients and nuts, particularly walnuts!. Modern brownies often have an icing, popular flavors being either vanilla or mint extract!. A variation of the traditional brownie made without chocolate, or with white chocolate, is called a blondie!.
The name "brownie" first appeared in the 1896 Boston Cooking-School Cook Book, where it describes molasses cakes baked individually in small tins!. Brownies are also mentioned in the 1897 Sears catalog!.[1]!. The origin of the brownie is thought to be American and is thought to derive its name from the color, and from the mythical pixie-like figures common in children's stories around the time of the dessert's invention!. One folkloric account has its origin coming from a careless cook that forgot to put baking powder in the ugly cake batter recipe and accidentally put in baking soda!. Another story reports that the brownie was invented at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago during the 1892 Columbian Exposition!.[2] Bertha Palmer requested a dessert to put in box lunches for ladies that would not get their hands dirty!.
The earliest published recipe for chocolate (as opposed to molasses) brownies, and which called for the batter to be poured into a single baking pan, appeared in the Boston Daily Globe on 2 April 1905 (p!. 34) and read:
BANGOR BROWNIES!. Cream 1/2 cup butter, add 2 eggs, 1 cup sugar, 2 squares of chocolate (melted), 1/2 cup broken walnuts meats, 1/2 cup flour!. Spread thin in buttered pans!. Bake in moderate oven, and cut before cold!.
"Bangor" certainly refers to Bangor, Maine, but the connection between the recipe and the city is unknown!. The following year's edition of Fannie Farmer's Boston Cooking-School Cook Book included its first recipe for chocolate brownies, but dropped reference to Bangor!. The 1907 Lowney's Cook Book, published by the Walter Lowney Chocolate Co!., presented two chocolate brownie recipes!. One, "Lowney's Brownies" enriched Farmer's recipe by adding an extra egg, but spread the batter on a sheet!. The second, for "Bangor Brownies", added extra chocolate and put the batter into a pan, just like the 1905 newspaper recipe!. The use of the terms "Bangor Brownies" or sometimes "Boston Brownies" in printed recipes continued into the 1950s!.
There are many different recipes for brownies!. Simple versions of the classic brownie often serve as an introduction to baking, frequently being made from pre-packaged "brownie mix"!. A common malicious prank calls for the addition of chocolate-flavored laxatives to an ordinary brownie recipe and giving them away to enemies!.[citation needed]
Brownies are often served hot with milk or ice cream (it is then commonly referred to as a brownie à la mode) and sometimes whipped cream, especially as desserts in restaurants!. Some drink coffee or milk with the dessert!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The origins of the chocolate brownies is uncertain but it is felt that it was probably created by accident, the result of a forgetful cook neglecting to add baking powder to chocolate cake batter!. Sears, Roebuck catalog in 1897 published the first known recipe for the brownies, and it quickly became very popular (so popular that a brownie mix was even sold in the catalog)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Brownies are one of America's best-loved culinary inventions!. "Although the origin of brownies is not clear, they have been eaten in the USA since the 19th century, first appearing in the 1897 Sears, Roebuck Catalog," says Alan Davidson in the Oxford Companion to Food!. James Trager, author of The Food Chronology, says the first brownie recipe was "probably created when a careless cook failed to add baking powder to a chocolate cake batter!." This has been traced to a housewife in Bangor Maine, when her chocolate cake didn't rise properly and she cut out flattened pieces from the pan!.
