Is is the weather, or is it because Mama Squirrel has been a bit under it this week, that has made several things not turn out just the way they are supposed to?
Well, there's almost always a way to fix or use up what doesn't turn out. At least it's worth a try.
Problem One: Underbaked Brownies
This happened last night. Maybe it was the humidity (we've had everything from snow to hail to thunderstorms over the past while)...or maybe I just need something to blame for my baking mistakes. Whatever. I took a large pan of brownies out of the oven, set them aside to cool for fifteen or twenty minutes, and then tried to cut them; most of the pan was still too gooey underneath. Easiest fix: put them back in the oven for awhile, which still happened to be on because I had been baking sweet potatoes at the same time. The edges did get a bit too dark, but most of the pan was saved from inedibility.
Problem Two: Too-thin pudding
Did you ever make pudding--the cooked kind--and have it refuse to thicken up no matter what? We had that happen last week with chocolate pudding, and I'm not sure why. Somehow the cornstarch just did not take.
Well, in that case what you have is a panful of chocolate sauce. And having a panful of chocolate sauce is not really a problem, unless that's what you were planning to have for dessert.
Quick fix: make a very fast microwave cake and serve the sauce on top. Or serve it over ice cream.
And if you have some pudding/sauce left over, you can use it as the liquid in muffins. A cupful of chocolate chips added in will make them awesome.
