BEST-EVER BROWNIES

By jarren

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, about 6 squares
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3 eggs
• 1 cups sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F. Coat or spray 8" square baking dish with oil. In a small bowl, using, a fork, stir flour with cocoa and salt. Using a serrated knife, coarsely chop chocolate. Place in a medium-size bowl along with butter. Microwave chocolate and butter on medium until almost melted, about 3 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to stir chocolate halfway through microwaving. Then stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, then sugar and vanilla. Using a spatula, scrape in cooled chocolate mixture, then stir until evenly mixed. Gradually stir in flour mixture, just until almost mixed. Spread batter in baking dish. Smooth top. Bake until edges are firm and middle is set, 35 to 45 minutes. Don't overbake (a toothpick inserted in the centre may have chocolatey crumbs clinging to it). Remove pan to a rack and cool. Cut into squares.
