Dixie Saucepan Fudge Brownies

Source of Recipe

From "My Mother's Southern Desserts" by James Villas


Recipe Introduction

"If you really want something good, eat one of these brownies with a glass of cold milk before going to bed. In any case, don't overcook them - they should be nice and soft - almost gummy."

List of Ingredients

• ¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter
• 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1¾ cups coarsely chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, or peanuts)


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a medium-size baking dish and set aside.

In a large, heavy saucepan, stir the butter and chocolate together over low heat till they melt and remove the pan from the heat. Add the sugar, eggs, and flour, beating well with an electric mixer after each addition. Add the salt, vanilla, and nuts and stir till well blended.

Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake till the cake just begins to pull away from the sides, 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cake cool, then cut into square brownies.

Makes 16 brownies.
