Chocolate Brownie

Source of Recipe


Claudia Fleming






List of Ingredients



• 8 ounces unsalted butter, plus additional for greasing the pan
  
• 4 ounces high-quality unsweetened chocolate (preferably Scharffen Berger)
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 1-2/3 cups sugar
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 2/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Melt the butter and chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
   
   
2. Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla together in a bowl until combined. Add the melted butter and chocolate, and whisk until incorporated. Fold in the flour and salt and, finally, stir in the nuts.
   
   
3. Pour into a greased 9- x 9-inch pan and bake for approximately 35 minutes or until it's just pulling away from the sides; the center should be very moist but not runny. Allow to cool in the pan before cutting. (Best served when the brownies have rested for several hours.)
