White Chocolate Tweeds
What are Tweeds? According to the
Chocolate News, in which the recipe
appeared in the November/December
'84 issue, they are moist white chocolate
brownies embedded with flecks of
dark bitter chocolate that give them a
tweedy appearance. The trick to having the
dark chocolate flakes remain
embedded in the white batter is dusting
the chopped unsweetened chocolate flour.
2 ounces unsweetened ehocolate, finely chopped
1 cup plus l tablespoon all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces white ehoeolate coarsely chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, plus l egg white, lightly beaten
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease
a 9-inch square pan with shortening.
Place unsweetened chocolate and 1 tablespoon
flour in small bowl, stir to
mix; set aside. Melt butter in medium
saucepan over low heat. Remove from
heat. Add white chocolate, stirring until
melted and smooth. Stir in sugar and
salt. Add eggs and vanilla, stirring until
combined and smooth. Sift 1 cup flour
over mixture; stir only until blended in.
Gently fold in the unsweetened chocolate-flour
mixture. Transfer batter to
the prepared pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes
until top is golden and a cake tester
inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool completely in the pan; cut into 16
squares. Store at room temperature
covered with plastic wrap.
