Brownies

Good Eats Dark Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients

• 1.25 cups natural cocoa powder (dutch processed works but I don't like it as much)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup AP flower
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 8 oz melted butter
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 4 large eggs (room temp, speed up in warm water if needed)

Prep

• Preheat to 300F
• Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment + enough to lift brownies out
• Sift all dry ingredients + sugars together

Process

• Beat eggs on high until light in color & texture (few minutes, not too much)
• Set to med-low, add sifted ingredients to eggs
• Add vanilla once integrated
• Set to low, add butter slowly
  • Stir 30s after combined, scrape, stir again 15 seconds

Add to the pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out almost clean. Remove from pan immediately and cut, cool on rack.

Modifications

I have added the following to the batter with success:

• Chopped dried cherries (best option, these brownies are very bitter so these taste great)
• Hazelnut butter
• Coffee would be good if you like coffee
