Description
Everybody says their brownies are the best, but these really are the best. They feature the “holy trinity” of brownie perfection-a crispy, flaky top, chewy edges, and a fudgy center. Serve with a glass of ice cold milk.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch square baking dish or pan
- then line with parchment paper if desired to make getting the brownies out easier.
- Mix flour and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
- Place chopped chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan with 1 inch of very gently simmering water. When the butter and almost all of the chocolate is melted
- stir until smooth. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- Mix sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer until very airy
- thick
- and creamy
- about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract
- then slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate mixture
- while mixing on high speed.
- Dump in the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the flour disappears. Use a spatula to transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread as evenly as possible.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out virtually clean
- about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to lightly press down the higher parts of the brownie around the edge of the dish. Let cool to room temperature
- 20 to 30 minutes
- before removing and cutting into 9 pieces.
