Honestly The Most Terrific Brownies Ever Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar. Add eggs, and mix well. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in the vanilla and stir in walnuts if desired. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are firm. Cool before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a 13 by 9-inch pan with vegetable oil spray.
• In a glass or ceramic bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Whisk in the sugar, eggs, cocoa, and vanilla. Stir in the flour and salt. Add chopped semisweet and bittersweet chocolates and pecans.
• Spread the batter in prepared pan. Bake about 25 minutes, just until brownies test moist but not wet. Cool completely before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 15x10 inch baking pan.
• Combine the margarine and the sugar in a large mixing bowl; use an electric mixer to beat until light. Beat in the eggs and vanilla; mix well. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, walnuts, and salt in a large bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture, mixing just until dry ingredients are incorporated. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
• Bake brownies in the preheated oven until the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan, 40 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil.
• Place bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds (don't skip this step or the chocolate will scorch!) until mixture is melted. Cool to lukewarm (don't skip this step either or the eggs will curdle!).
• Once mixture is cooled, stir in the sugar, pinch of salt, and vanilla until combined.
• Beat in the eggs by hand, one at a time.
• Add the flour and stir energetically for 3-5 minutes until the batter is thick, smooth, and 'dry'. It will look curdled at first and may have some separated liquid, but if you stir it thoroughly it will reach the correct consistency. (This step is the most important to ensure the brownies have the perfect consistency!).
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the center feels almost set (with a few dry crumbs when tested), about 20-30 minutes. Do not overbake!
• Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before serving. (Note: These brownies will 'mature' and improve in flavor and texture the following day or two after baking. Don't eat them all the first day and you will see what I mean!).
• These brownies can be stored, tightly covered with aluminum foil, at room temperature for up to a week.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Grease a 9 x 13 pan and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Whisk the flour and salt together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Now make a water bath (or use your double boiler). Fill a suacepan with water, about half way. Set it on the stove and heat the water. Place a heat-proof bowl, like a mixing bowl, right on top. The water may touch the bottom of the bowl, but it should not over flow. Place the butter and chocolate in the bowl. We are now melting the butter and the chocolate together.
• Stir frequently; chocolate needs to be melted gently so it won't seize. When the butter and chocolate are combined, add one cup of sugar and the vanilla. Set the mixture aside.
• In a bowl for mixing, put the remaining cup of sugar and the eggs. Mix together until just combined.
• Take about half of the sugar/egg mixture, and while stirring, add to the chocolate mixture. Keep the egg mixture moving to prevent cooking the eggs.
• Now back to your mixer - beat the remaining egg/sugar mixture on medium high until it doubles in volume, or about 3 minutes.
• Using your spatula, fold the whipped egg mixture into the chocolate mixture. Now sprinkle the dry ingredients over your batter. Gently fold, working only until you no longer see the flour.
• Scrape all that batter into your prepared pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 25 minutes, until done.
• The top of the brownie will look like a dry lake bed. Test the brownies to see if they are done. You are mainly looking for the brownies to set up. When it sets up you are done heating them. They will continue to cook when you remove them from the oven. This will ensure that you do not overcook the brownies. You will want them nice and moist.
• You MUST resist the urge to cut into these treats. Just wait! Let the brownies set for about an hour. You will be happy you waited.
