    Emeril Lagasse

    List of Ingredients




    1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus 12 tablespoons (3/4 cup)
    1 tablespoon flour, plus 3/4 cup, sifted
    3 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate
    1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    3 large eggs
    1 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted
    1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    Fudge Topping:
    1 stick unsalted butter
    1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    6 tablespoons buttermilk
    1 pound confectioners' sugar
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish
    with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour into
    the pan to coat the sides and bottom, knocking out any excess. Set
    aside.
    In the top of a double boiler or in a bowl set over simmering water,
    combine the remaining 12 tablespoons butter and the chocolate. Cook,
    stirring, until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and
    whisk until smooth. Add 1/4 cup of the flour and whisk to combine.
    Alternate adding the remaining flour and eggs, whisking well after
    each addition. Stir in the toasted nuts and vanilla.

    Pour into the prepared pan, shifting the pan to create an even layer.
    Bake until risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
    clean, about 30 minutes.

    For the Fudge Topping: While the brownies are in the oven, in a
    medium saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa powder and buttermilk over
    medium heat. Cook until the butter melts and mixture just comes
    together. Remove from the heat and whisk until smooth. Sift the
    confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Add the chocolate mixture
    and vanilla and whisk until smooth.

    Remove the brownies from the oven and, with the handle of a wooden
    spoon, poke holes into the brownies every 1 to 2 inches. Pour the
    Fudge Topping over the brownies and smooth with a rubber spatula. Let
    cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before cutting.

    Cut into 2-inch brownies and serve.
