Brownies
8x8 square pan. 350 or 325 oven. 30-35 minutes.
- 4 oz unsweetened bar chocolate (do NOT use cocoa powder!)
- 1+1/2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 c. dark brown sugar
- 1/2 c. white sugar
- 2 tsp. espresso powder (optional, but damn good--heightens chocolate flavor)
- 2 eggs (chewy); 3 eggs (cakey)
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 c. flour
- 1 tsp. salt
1. Melt chocolate, sugars, butter, + espresso powder over med-low heat on stovetop.
2. Once sugar is melted (no or few granules), remove from heat and let cool. (For those of you located in the land of fuck, cover the pot and stick in a snowbank for 10-15)
3. Mix in eggs to cooled chocolate (must be cool or you'll have scrambled egg brownie). Also add vanilla.
4. Gently incorporate the flour. Do not overmix or you'll end up with tough brownies. Blegch.
5. Mix-ins. Add a handful of toasted walnuts or a handful of chocolate chips if you like. Or just toss on top after the batter is in the pan.
6. Pour into greased and/or lined (foil or parchment) pan. If glass, oven shuld be 350. If your using metal, set oven to 325.
7. Bake 30-35.
