The first reference to the “brownie” in America appears in the Sears Roebuck Catalog, published in Chicago in 1898. In 1893, Bertha Palmer asked a pastry chef, Joseph Sehl, in the Palmer House kitchen for a dessert suitable for ladies attending the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition. Requesting a cake-like confection to be included in boxed lunches, the Palmer House Brownie was created. The recipe below is well over a century old and is the same one used for the brownie served in the Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel today.
