Brownies

…and a tall glass of cold milk.


FUDGY BROWNIES

1 stick unsalted butter
8 ounces good quality dark chocolate (65%)
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper
2. Melt butter and chocolate over barely simmering water. Mix well and let cool a bit.
3. Stir sugar into chocolate mixture until well combined.
4. Mix in eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated.
5. Add vanilla.
6. Fold in flour and salt.
7. Bake in preheated oven at 350F (180C) for about 40 to 45 minutes.
8. Let cool completely and cut into 2-inch squares.

These have more of a cake-like consistency when they are fresh. They become nice and fudgy the next day. It does pay off to wait!

Bon appetit.
