Salted caramel Brownies

I used this recipie http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2010/08/16/salted-caramel-brownies/ to make these scrumptious salted caramel brownies I made these brownies with my brother, and of course we had some problems but the end result turned out wonderful. Everybody who tried it said that it was really good, even my dad who hates everything I make. The only problematic issue I had was with the caramel I did not give it enough time n the heat to thicken and so when I added the heavy cream, the foam I was expecting did not happen but it turned out okay I just kept whisking and occasionally putting it back in the heat until a smooth sauce appeared. I the. Out the sauce through a strainer since not all my sugar had melted, this also caused my caramel sauce too be runny and less flavoursome.

Here's how they turned out and I would defiantly recommend this recipe.

Crepe dentelles

Crepe dentelles, 
                         For the past month I have been in love with making crepe dentelles, I usually make a batch of 20 but only 5 work out every time, I made some for my cousins and they loved it, its crispy sugary and the whip cream filling makes it even better. What I also like about these is that they only take 5 mins in the oven so its okay if I mess them up because 5 mins later I would have some more ready. I used this recipe from youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo3QeZrkG98 I used my large ikea brush as the cylinder  and found that it worked great, you can also use a knife if you want thin crepes but i like the whip cream filling which you can't fill the crepes with if the crepe is thin so I always roll it. 

This is how it looks like if you roll it with a knife, I just got this picture from searching crepe dentelles up on google images, I used to eat boxed crepe dentelles like this all the time as a kid so i'm glad I can now make them at home.

I hope you try this recipe out it does take a few try's to get the rolling of the crepe right but once you get the hang of it you will never stop making them.
