Katherine Hepburn's Glorious Chocolate Brownies
These are the best brownies ever, and from scratch!
Calories per serving:
Ingredients
- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 stick
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- 1/4 cup *flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 only - not 350. If you are using glass, then preheat to 300 only.
- Put enough foil in an 8x8 pan to go over the sides. Grease and flour the foil. Trust me, you'll be happy you did.
- Put the chocolate and butter into a double boiler. Melt, undisturbed until the chocolate has melted. Then you can stir them together. Remove from the heat.
- Mix together the sugar, egg, and vanilla.
- Slowly add the chocolate-butter mixture, beating it until all is incorporated.
- Finally, add the flour carefully and beat it until it, too, is fully incorporated.
- Pour into the 8x8 prepared pan.
- Put in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. Check at 30, but the brownies will be done at 40 minutes.
- Remove using the sides of foil and place on a rack to cool.
- Peel off the foil and cut into squares as desired.
Notes
You can use a microwave, but I trust this method a little more. It's a gentler, safer way to melt chocolate without the possibility of burning.
My son put a little Nutella on one of his and said it was delicious. If you want to frost these, have at it, but they really don't need it.
