4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
½ C. (1 stick) butter
4 large eggs, room temperature
½ t. salt
2 C. sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
1 C. all purpose flour
Preheat oven to 350˚. Butter and lightly flour a 13”x9” baking pan. Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Let cool in the pan to room temperature. If in a hurry, cool in the refrigerator, but be sure it doesn’t get solid again.
Beat the eggs and salt in a mixing bowl until very fluffy. Gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla. Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture. Add the flour and fold just until blended. Fold in the chocolate and flour gently to keep batter fluffy.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake 25-30 minutes. Let cool in the pan completely before cutting. Makes 9 4”x3” brownies.
