Brownie recipe - for safekeeping

[winter]

This recipe was originally from beauchat, but I'm copying it for safekeeping, with my own alterations.


Ingredients:
180 g dark chocolate
180 g butter
1 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
dash salt
1 cup additions (walnuts etc)

Preparation:
Melt chocolate and butter together in a baine marie. Into the melted mixture, stir sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla, then stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and nuts, if using. Spread batter into a greased and floured baking pan. Bake at 175C for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.

This sounds delicious! I might steal (and of course, give you credit!), and I shall certainly tell you the results.

Everyone who eats them wants the recipe ;)

Sounds yummy. Will bookmark.

My brownie recipe (successfully baked dozens of times) requires one to melt chocolate, butter and sugar together, let it go lukewarm, put in the yokes, flour and at the very end the whipped egg whites. Supposedly it makes if fluffier? In any case, I always add a sprinkle of rum, whiskey, or other alcoholic beverage of choice (last time I baked brownies, it was home-made cherry brandy - yum!). I also add chocolate flakes if I need, um, a higher chocolate content (read: COMFORT FOOD). Also, chocolate topping! XD

The brandy's a good idea :D I think the soda and warmth of my recipe adds fluff, too.

*nod nod* They do add it, but extra fluff is always welcome. :P

Adding alcohol to brownies is love, provided you put in something to complement the chocolate. It adds a little "je ne sais quoi" and prompts questions about secret ingredients. ^_~
(Of course, you have to be careful if you are going to feed it to children...)

These look amazing! I'll have to try them next time I get a chance to do some baking.
