Brownies Recipe
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a square baking dish with parchment paper. This will ensure that your brownies come out easily and beautifully fudgy. In a double boiler, melt together high-quality dark chocolate and unsalted butter until smooth and glossy. This step is crucial for achieving that deep, intense chocolate flavor in your brownies.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Slowly incorporate the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, being careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to a denser, less airy brownie - not what we're aiming for in this recipe.
Next, sift in the flour and a pinch of salt. Gently fold everything together until just combined. The key here is to mix the ingredients just until you no longer see any streaks of flour - a few lumps are totally fine. This will result in a tender, melt-in-your-mouth brownie that is sure to impress even the most discerning of palates.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. It's important not to overbake your brownies, as they will continue to cook slightly once removed from the oven.
Once your brownies are perfectly baked, allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Trust me, the patience is worth it - there's nothing quite like enjoying a warm, fudgy brownie with a cup of steaming hot cocoa on a chilly evening. This recipe has been a hit with my clients and guests alike, and I'm confident it will become a staple in your baking repertoire as well.
