Tips to make your cannabutter

Do not overheat your cannabutter - Controlling the heat of your butter is key to retaining the THC levels from your weed. THC needs a fat molecule to dissolve and release from its plant, which is why we infuse it into butter. However, overheating this mixture will cause the THC to evaporate and all your efforts will have been for nothing. So repeat after me, I shall not let my butter boil! 

‍

Controlling your butter temperature - Between 75 and 80C is the maximum heat you’d need to extract the THC from the plant. If you are not able to do this on your stove, switch to the Au-bain Marie method to control your temperature

‍

Filter your cannabutter - I would highly recommend filtering your butter through a clean kitchen towel to ensure no pieces of the plant are left in your butter.

Calculating your THC levels

Before you start cooking, it’s good to realise that there is a limit to the fun of these brownies. This means that you should be careful with how much cannabis you add to your brownies. The dosage of 1,5gr Original Haze has been carefully calculated to not overdue the dosage and hit that sweet spot per portion.

‍

Example: If you use 1gr of cannabis with 20% THC you got 200mg THC. If a brownie gives you 10 portions that means you have 20mg THC per portion.

How do I get fudgy brownies? 

If you stick to the oven temperature and baking time in this recipe, you should be on the perfect path towards ultra fudgy brownies! These brownies are baked on a slightly lower oven temperature than usual because we don’t want to overbake that cheesecake swirl and want to keep the white of the cheesecake swirl actually white. It’s all about the contrast in colours with this brownie. 

‍

Won’t I lose that crackly top when the oven temperature is lower than usual? 

Nope! That is why we fluff up the eggs and sugar until they are extra pale and fluffy, this is the part of the recipe which is so important to get that signature crackly brownie top, so don’t you dare skip this step….

How long can I store these brownies?

I don’t think these will last long, but these brownies are best kept in an airtight container in the fridge and will remain fresh, fudgy and delicious for at least 7 days. Just make sure the brownie is cooled completely before putting it in the fridge, we don’t want those condensation drops to drip all over your brownie..

Baking time and oven temperature

Baking time and oven temperature may vary depending on the oven you are using.  All oven temperatures in my recipes are based on a conventional oven. If you bake with a fan assisted oven, turn down the temperature slightly as these ovens tend to become hotter than a conventional oven at that temperature setting. Ovens have the tendency to deviate from the temperature you set the oven to. I would highly recommend using an oven thermometer to ensure the inside of your oven is at the right temperature. My oven for example only goes up to 160C even though I turn it up to 230C 

‍

An oven that is too hot may result in an overbaked or burnt bake, and an oven that is too cold may result in underbaked and soggy bakes. Having the thermometer will not only help in getting the right temperature but also helps in determining the right baking time. 

‍

Other factors that may affect baking time

The size of your baking dish may also highly affect your baking time. A wider pan means that the batter spreads out more, resulting in it baking faster than in a smaller pan where the batter is thicker in height.
