"Ma Schaller's Famous Orgasmic Chocolate Brownies "
List of Ingredients
* �8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
* �2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
* �2/3 cup plain cake flour
* �1/4 teaspoon salt
* �1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* �1 cup granulated sugar
* �2 large eggs
* �1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* �1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) (walnuts or pecans are nice)Recipe
Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 350 degrees F.� Melt butter and chocolate together in medium saucepan set over� simmering water OR in a 2-quart bowl in a microwave on medium power; set aside to cool for about 5-10 minutes. �Measure flour, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl and whisk briefly to combine; set aside.�Whisk sugar into cooled chocolate mixture.� Whisk in eggs and vanilla, then fold in flour mixture (and nuts, if using them) until just combined.
�Pour batter into greased 8-inch square metal pan, smooth into corners; bake until toothpick inserted halfway between center and edge of pan comes out with a few fudgy crumbs, about 20-23 minutes.� If batter coats toothpick, return pan to oven and bake 2 to 4 minutes more.� Cool brownies completely in pan set on a wire rack.� Cut into squares and serve.� (Pan may be wrapped in plastic, then foil, for up to 2 days, to preserve moistness, cut and remove brownies only as needed.)
Barb notes: Believe I bake them more like 25 minutes.
�Double the recipe and use a 9x13x2-inch pan and bake about 30-35 minutes; not too long.� Test for doneness.
