BROWNIES II

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)

250 g unsweetened chocolate (8 squares)
250 g butter
5 eggs
500 g sugar
15 ml vanilla extract
150 g flour
250 g coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)

Procedure

Grease a 33 x 22 cm pan and pre-heat oven to 190C
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.
Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for a full 10 minutes.
Blend in the chocolate-and-butter mixture at low speed.
Add flour, beating just to blend. Stir in walnuts, if desired.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out slightly dirty.
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.
