Fudgy Brownies 🇺🇸

INGREDIENTS

150g unsalted butter
1 ¼ cups sugar
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch fine sea or table salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
Handful of chopped walnuts or pecans, optional

METHOD

Pre heat oven to 180°c. Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with baking paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on opposite ends to help remove the baked brownies from the pan.
Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium microwave safe bowl.
Stir the mixture occasionally (at 30 second intervals) until the butter has melted and the mixture sugar has slightly dissolved around 2 minutes. Don’t worry if it has a coarse texture, it will become smooth once the eggs and flour are added in.
Remove the bowl from microwave and set aside for 5 minutes or until it is only warm, not hot.
Stir in the vanilla.
Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one.
When the batter looks thick and well blended, fold in the flour. Use a spoon to fold the flour into the batter until it is very thick and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Batter will be super thick
Stir in nuts if using.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
Bake brownies until the edges look dry and the top has cracks 20 to 30 minutes. You can test by inserting a toothpick into the center. The brownies are finished baking if it comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Cool completely before removing from the pan — this step is essential. helps the brownies set. Cut into squares.
Decorate with melted chocolate or leave as is
