Ka-POW Brownies


I originally made these suckers with only 1 tablespoon of the Korean red pepper powder and it came out only mildly spicy and didn't do much for the heat factor. I think 2 tbs might do it. I would recommend mixing another kind of pepper that has more of a kick to it to jack it up more. I mean, you know, if you swing that way.
I think I'm gonna keep this recipe as one of my favorites! And I'll definitely still call them Ka-Pow Brownies.
1 stick of butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbs Korean red pepper powder
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F°. Grease and flour an 8" square pan.
In a saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter. Remove from heat, and stir in 1 cup of sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix in 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup flour, salt, and baking powder. Don't over mix. Put batter in pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

I got mine at the Korean market in K-town. They have some powdery, some more flaky. I'm sure other asian markets have it too. Like Sunrise Mart and M2M.
