Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz Unsweetened chocolate
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Chop the unsweetened chocolate into small pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl along with the butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Cut the brownies into 9 squares and serve. Store extras in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
