Epic Enchiladas & Extraneous Experimentation

The Menu: Epic Enchiladas, Brownie Pancakes, and Gooey Nutella Brownies

We had no shortage of problems involving eggs tonight. This was one of many:
Note to self: listen when people tell you brownie batters spreads and won't make good cookies:

The Recipes:
Epic Enchiladas. See post from April 24 here. We did the beans slightly differently this time: four 14.5 oz. cans of pinto beans instead of three, and put in extra scallions. We also added a bit of water towards the end to keep them from getting too thick. It was nice to not have to skimp on the beans when filling enchiladas.
Brownie Experiments. Mix together 1/2 butter, 1 c granulated sugar, 2 egg whites, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 c flour, 1/3 c cocoa (ours are so dark because we uses Hershey's special dark cocoa), 1/4 tsp. baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.  Mix in a cup of Nutella, or whatever else you like, and bake in crazy shapes.

Next time try parchement paper under the brownies. Not sure if it will work for multiple individual brownie cookies, but that's what I use on my stone when I'm making a large flat brownie base for brownie fruit pizza. Works like a charm!
