Brownies

Original recipe

Ingredients

• 85 grams unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, plus extra for pan
• 1 1/3 cups (265 grams) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt or 1/4 teaspoon table salt
• 2/3 cup (85 grams) all-purpose flour

Directions

1. Heat oven to 175°C.
2. Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment, extending it up two sides, or foil. Butter the parchment or foil or spray it with a nonstick cooking spray.
3. In a medium heatproof bowl over gently simmering water, melt chocolate and butter together until only a couple unmelted bits remain. Off the heat, stir until smooth and fully melted. You can also do this in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each.
4. Whisk in sugar, then eggs, one at a time, then vanilla and salt. Stir in flour with a spoon or flexible spatula and scrape batter into prepared pan, spread until even.
5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out batter-free.
6. Let cool and cut into desired size. Let cool in the fridge.
