BROWNIES


These brownies can be fudgy or cakey depending on how long you bake them.


Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 2 1/2 hr (includes cooling)





2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter


8 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), coarsely chopped


1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon baking powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


2 cups sugar


4 large eggs


2 teaspoons vanilla


5 oz walnut pieces, coarsely chopped (1 1/2 cups)











Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350掳F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan (2 inches deep) and line bottom and sides with wax paper, then butter paper.


Melt butter and chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth.





Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.





Whisk together sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl, then pour in chocolate mixture, whisking until combined well. Whisk in flour mixture, then stir in walnuts and transfer batter to baking pan.





Bake until top is shiny and set and sides have begun to pull away slightly (a wooden pick or skewer will not come out clean), about 35 minutes, for fudgy brownies; or until wooden pick or skewer comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour total, for cakey brownies.





Cool brownies completely in pan on a rack. Invert onto a cutting board, remove paper, and cut into squares.





Cooks' note:


鈥?Cooled brownies keep, layered between sheets of wax paper, in an airtight container at room temperature 2 days. We find the flavor to be even better after 1 day.

Take a Shortcut


Use a food processor to quickly chop the pecans.
Yea, but they're illegal...
These are the best I've ever had. I usually leave out the chioc. chips in them, as I'm not a fan of choc. chip chunks in a brownie, just nuts.





Outrageous Brownies

1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, divided

3 cups diced walnut pieces





Preheat oven to 350潞 F. Grease and flour a 13 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan.

Bake for about 30 minutes, or until tester just comes out clean. Halfway through the baking, rap the pan against the oven shelf to allow air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Do not overbake! Cool thoroughly, refrigerate well and cut into squares.
