Georgia Pecan Brownies

Source of Recipe


From "Bon Appétit, Y'all" by Virginia Willis



List of Ingredients



• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
  
• 2 cups sugar
  
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1¼ cups cocoa powder
  
• 1½ tsp baking powder
  
• 1 tsp fine sea salt
  
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  
• 12 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
  
• 1 cup chopped pecans
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or pan with butter.
   In a saucepan, melt the 1 cup of butter over medium heat; add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Keep warm.
   
   
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter mixture and stir to combine. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, chocolate, and nuts. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the ingredients are combined (the batter should be very thick). Alternatively, you can mix the batter in a heavy-duty mixer. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with an offset spatula.
   
   
3. Bake until set, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool. Cut into pieces and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
