Fudge Recipe
FUDGE BROWNIE RECIPE
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1-teaspoon baking powder
1/2-teaspoon salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
4 squares (4-ounces) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 large eggs
1-tablespoon pure vanilla
2 cups sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
1. Position a rack in the
center of the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an
8x8-inch pan for thick brownies or a 9x13-inch baking pan for thinner ones.
2. In a medium bowl, blend the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, until just melted, being careful not
to burn. Remove from heat. Add in chopped chocolate and stir until melted.
Let cool until slightly warm.
4. Lightly beat the eggs and vanilla until just combined, by hand, in a
medium size bowl. Stir in sugar. Mix in the cooled melted butter and
chocolate until smooth. Do NOT beat. Fold in flour mixture and when almost
combined, add in walnuts until combined.
5. Scrape batter into pan and smooth. Tap pan lightly on the countertop a
few times to remove excess air bubbles.
6. Bake in the 9x13-inch pan for 25-35 minutes; the 8x8-inch pan for 35-45
minutes (or longer) or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan
comes out just slightly moist. Will puff in the oven and then fall and
crack. The brownies should also sound hollow when tapped. They may seem a
bit underdone on the inside but will harden as they cool. Do NOT over bake.
