Recipe summary

A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason, this is also an account of what happens when I make this dish, so you’ll understand each step. Of course when you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don’t like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour, you have to add your own!

Nothing with chocolate in it lasts long in my house especially these quick-and-easy, nothing-fancy brownies. They’re loaded with rich chocolate flavour and will easily satisfy the most discerning young palate.

Preparation time:
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Yield: 12

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces of bittersweet dark chocolate
  • 2 sticks of butter (eight ounces)
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 spoonful baking powder
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups of brown sugar
  • A big splash of vanilla
  • 1 cup of chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the chocolate and butter into a small bowl set over a small pot of simmering water. This will insulate the delicate chocolate from direct heat and keep it from scorching. As they begin to melt stir until smooth then remove from the heat.
  2. In a large bowl whisk the flour, salt and baking powder together until they’re combined evenly. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla together then stir into the chocolate. Stir in the dry ingredients and walnuts.
  3. Lightly oil the bottom and sides of an 8” by 12” baking pan. Sprinkle a bit of flour into the pan and shake until all the surfaces are evenly covered. Tap the pan upside-down on the counter to dislodge any extra. Pour in the batter and bake until set, about 40 minutes.
