Ingredients:
2/3 cup butter
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate ( get the good stuff)
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup flour, sifted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Butter and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler over boiling water.
Remove from heat and add vanilla.
Beat eggs and salt in a mixer, add sugar at high speed and beat for 10 minutes until mixture looks white.
Add chocolate/butter mixture to the eggs just until blended.
Add flour and mix just until it is combined and you don’t see any white streaks.
Pour in prepared pan and put in oven.
Immediately reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 40 minutes.
Prick with a toothpick to test for “doneness” it should NOT be quite clean when you pull the tooth pick out.
Be careful to not over bake – the brownies are fudge-like, not cake-like.
Important: cool completely before cutting.
