Alice B. Toklas brownie
"The late Poetess Gertrude Stein and her constant companion and autobiographeR, Alice B. Toklas, used to have gay old times together in the kitchen. Some of the unique delicacies that were whipped up will soon be cataloged . . . in a wildly epicurean tome . . . Perhaps the most gone concoction (and also possibly a clue to some of Gertrude's less earthly lines) was her hashish fudge."
The original recipe, although rather vague as to directions, may conceivably be summarized as follows:
1 tsp. black peppercorns
1 whole nutmeg
4 sticks cinnamon
1 tsp. coriander
1 handful dates
1 handful dried figs
1 handful shelled almonds
1 handful peanuts
A bunch of cannabis sativa ("picked and dried as soon as it has gone to seed and while the plant is still green")
1 cup sugar
1 large pat of butter
Grind the pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, and coriander in a mortar. Chop and mix the dates, figs, almonds, and peanuts. Grind the cannabis and mix it with the spices; dust this mixture over the fruits and nuts. Mix the sugar with the butter and knead this together with the fruits, nuts, spices, and cannabis. Eat with care - two pieces are quite sufficient.
Other recipes have been devised, the most standard being simply to prepare regular brownie mix and include varying quantities of cannabis.
Other terms for an Alice B. Toklas brownie include "space cake," "pot pie," "hash brownie," or "magic brownie".
********A NOTE OF CHANGE. THE RECIPE ABOVE HAS BEEN LEFT IN IT'S ORIGINAL FORM. I SUGGEST THAT YOU SUBSTITUTE 1/8oz. DRIED CANNABIS IN PLACE OF"THE BUNCH" OF CANNABIS. AND FOR THE LARGE PAT OF BUTTER, USE CANNABIS BUTTER.
{ I REALIZE THIS IS A STRANGE BROWNIE RECIPE, BUT I WANTED TO INCLUDE IT FOR SENTIMENTAL REASONS, AS OTHER "OLDER POTHEADS" MAY REMEMBER THIS ONE FROM THE 60'S }
