Box Brownie….

In my last school, Friday afternoons were devoted to “activities” for the senior pupils – and of course one of those activities was Cooking. Over the years these mixed-age groups requested some interesting recipes and we had fun making pasta, pancakes and profiteroles to name just a few. One particular merry band was keen to find the very best Brownie. So each pupil made a different one, from the bottom-of-the-range packet mix to, you guessed, the ultimately successful one that I still make today. We sat and tasted our way through all eight of them to discover this was the one and it took me a very long time before I ate Brownie again !
