Jason’s Long Day at the Pottery Shop Brownies
After a long day at the Potter’s Wheel, and/or firing recent creations, Jason Serres’ “Long Day at the Pottery Shop Brownies” are they perfect way to end the day.

– Combine melted hot butter, oil and sugar together in a medium sized bowl. Whisk well for about a minute.
– Add eggs and vanilla, neat until lighter in color ( about another minute)
-Sift in flour cocoa powder, and salt
– Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. (do NOT over beat as to protect texture of brownies)
– Pour batter in prepared pan smoothing out evenly.
– OPTIONAL * Top with Chocolate chunks or Chocolate Chips
– Bake for 20-25 minutes or until centre of the brownies in the pan no longer jiggles and is set to touch. (the brownies will keep baking after taking out of oven) For tooth pick testing, the tooth pick should come out dirty and fudge like.
