BROWNIES-2 - Serious chocolate brownies
This is an adaptation of the "Scrumptious Brownies" recipe
found on a box of Baker's unsweetened chocolate. I've
reduced the amounts of sugar and flour from the original,
which I find makes for a very fudgey brownie.
INGREDIENTS (32 brownies)
8 oz unsweetened chocolate (8 squares)
1/2 lb butter
5 eggs
2 1/2 cups
sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups
flour
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)
PROCEDURE
(1) Grease a 13x9 inch pan and pre-heat oven to 375
deg. F.
(2) Melt the chocolate and the butter in the top of a
double boiler over simmering water. Whisk until
smooth. Set aside to cool while beating eggs.
(3) Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for
a full 10 minutes.
(4) Blend in the chocolate-and-butter mixture at low
speed.
(5) Add flour, beating just to blend. Stir in walnuts,
if desired.
(6) Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake. The
brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into
the center comes out slightly dirty.
(7) Cool in pan, then cut into squares.
RATING
Difficulty: easy to moderate. Time: 30 minutes preparation,
1 hour cooking and cooling. Precision: measure the
ingredients.
