Brownies are one of the easiest and most delicious desserts to make. With the typical ingredients being white granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, eggs, and butter, there is a lot of science behind this recipe. My great-grandpa Emil used to own a bakery in New York City, so my family has always loved baking. We would often make brownies for events and family diners, with the recipe easily adapted to adhere to pareve (regarding Kosher laws) or other dietary restrictions. However, how I see it is that since brownies were an integral part of my great-grandpa’s bakery, I see it as part of my family since he managed to escape the Holocaust and spread their Jewish foods (not brownies but others) to the people of New York City.
