Perfecto Brownies

I believe in experimenting because at times experiments lead to successes. This is another story of happy coincidences and successful experiments. So to begin the story I just won a Mixed Doubles Badminton Championship. Well I have won several, in fact , but this is the most recent one. And that too with a weak back, knee problems, foot issues and a damaged eye. I still play and love every moment of it. And practising for days for the tournament took its toll. And I also reduced a bit. Can’t say I reduced a lot because that seems like an impossible dream. So I convinced myself that I deserved a sinful brownie. The problem with being a baker is that you are expected to bake your own celebration treats, birthday and anniversary cakes. To be honest I myself do not like the store bought cakes any more.
So there I was trying to whip up a brownie at 10 in the night. I decided on a fudgy one with orange flavour. And Murphy’s law made its appearance. My son had finished up all the orange juice in the house. I have been baking a lot of hot milk cake recently and so I decided to add hot milk to it. However at the last moment I was too tired to heat the milk and so I added cold one to it. Now I know it is a universal law that all cake ingredients must be at room temperature at least. I decided to fly by my pants. In went the brownies. And boy did they turn out awesome!!!
So this was the happy coincidence and successful experiment!!
