For best results when you bake your
brownies, use the size pan specified in the recipe. To check the width of a pan,
measure across the top from inside edge to inside edge.
Hepburn's Brownies
2 oz. (2 squares)
unsweetened chocolate
1/2 C. (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 C. sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1/4 C. all-purpose flour
1/2 t. salt
1 C. coarsely chopped walnuts
First melt chocolate and butter in a heavy saucepan. Remove from heat, and stir
in sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat like mad. Stir in flour, salt and
chopped walnuts - not smashed up, you know, but just chopped into fairly good
size pieces.
Now mix all that up. Then you butter a square tin (8 inches), and dump the whole
thing quickly into the pan. Stuff this pan into a preheated 325-degree oven for
40 minutes. After that, take out the pan, and let it cool for a while. Then cut
into 1-1/2-inch squares, and dive right in.
