Your Calamities

Chocolate Brownies
October 12, 2006 | permalink

I made brownies in the wee hours of the night a few days ago. While I desperately wanted (and needed) sleep, the insomnia had me, and I couldn't stand to watch another re-run of Without a Trace or The Late Show. So I baked, instead. With much success, I might add; the brownies came out awfully tasty, if I do say so myself.

I prefer mine without nuts, but of course you can add in nuts or whatever else tickles your taste buds without having to alter anything else in the recipe at all.

One Bowl Brownies

• Two Ounces Bitersweet Chocolate
• Two Ounces Unsweetened Chocolate
• One and One Half Sticks of Butter
• One and One Half Cups Sugar
• Three Eggs
• One Cup Flour
• One Half Cup Cocoa Powder
• One Teaspoon Vanilla
• One Teaspoon Salt
• One Half Tablespoon Baking Powder

Preheat the oven to 350. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate together and stir until completely blended. Remove from heat. Add the sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Fold in the flour a third of a cup at a time and stir until the batter is smooth.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured pan, 13 x 9. Bake for about 30 minutes, until a knife comes out clean. If you cut the baking a little short, you will get chewier, fudgier brownies; contrary-wise, you will get cakier, drier brownies if you give them a little extra time in the oven.
