Today’s National Brownie Day. What better way to celebrate
than with a fresh batch? You can add chocolate chips, chopped walnuts or frosting.
Or gobble them up plain.
World’s Best Brownies
1/2 cup butter (plus extra for greasing)
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Preheat oven to 350F. Spread parchment in an 8-inch square
pan. Brush paper liberally with butter or spray with cooking oil. Melt butter in
a large saucepan. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Beat in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Don’t overbake! Cool 10 to 20
minutes, then remove brownies from pan (parchment and all) and slice. Serve
warm with milk. Makes 16 small brownies or 9 huge ones.
