Special Brownies (note: this recipe does not call for boosted butter)
1 box brownie mix (the kind that requires oil, not water)
3/4 ounce to 1 ounce cannabis bud (no stems or seeds)
vegetable oil (My preference is coconut oil: no GMOs)
whatever else is on the box recipe (eggs)
(optional): chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat oven according to box directions.
Heat required amount of oil in a saucepan.
Add bud. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Trust me: it's worth the 30 minutes' wait; make sure the oil does not turn too dark.)
Strain bud through a cheesecloth into a measuring cup, making sure you still have the correct amount of oil.
Follow the box instructions the rest of the way.
