Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 325°F with rack in middle. Lightly grease or butter pan and line with crisscrossed sheets of parchment paper.

Melt chocolate with butter in a med bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove bowl from pan.

Add sugar and whisk well.

Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition, and whisk mixture vigorously until smooth and cohesive.

Whisk in vanilla and salt.

Add flour and cocoa and stir with whisk until incorporated and batter is smooth.

Fold in nuts.

Spread batter evenly in pan and bake exactly 40 minutes.

Cool brownies completely in pan on a rack.

To remove them easily from the pan, use the parchment overhangs to lift the brownies, still on the parchment, from the pan. Cut brownies into squares
