Deep Chocolate Brownies
This is a very chewy and fudgy brownie recipe that I love. It is super easy to make and doesn't require any fancy ingredients.
You also get a nice shiny top on these as well.
2 sticks unsalted butter
8 oz of fine quality bittersweet chocolate (no more than 60% cacao)
2 cups sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
5 large eggs
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 350 with rack in the middle. Butter and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Melt the butter and the chocolate in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool till lukewarm. Whisk in sugar and vanilla. Whisk in eggs 1 at a time until mixture is glossy and smooth.
Whisk together flour, cocoa and salt, then whisk into the chocolate mixture until combined. Spread in pan and bake until toothpick interested in center comes out with crumbs. 25 – 35 minutes. Cool completely.
Modification:
For brownies that are more like a mix...but from scratch you can add another 1/3 cup of AP Flour and 2 TBspns extra of cocoa powder with a teaspoon of baking soda and baked for 30 minutes.
