Brownie

This is a nice typical  Brownie recipe which is dense yet moist with a cracked crust.

The quality of chocolate used determines and taste of this.

Semi sweet chocolate or chips - 1 cup

butter - 1/2 cup or 1 stick

sugar - 1 cup

cocoa powder unsweetened - 2 tbsp

vanilla extract - 1 tsp

Eggs - 3

All purpose flour - 3/4 cup

salt - a pinch

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Butter an 8 or 9 inch square or rectangle pan.

First we need to melt chocolate and butter together.

Take a bowl and melt in over a pot with simmering water(double boiling)

Then, add sugar and cocoa powder to it and mix well.

Just use a wire whisk to mix everything. 

Now add vanilla extract.

Add eggs one at a time and mix well.

Add a pinch of salt and fold in the flour.

[optionally you can add nuts or more chocolate chips at this time]

Pour into the pan and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes.

For the brownie, when we check for doneness it should come out with a few crumbs, not a clean one as in a cake.

Let it cool and cut into pieces and enjoy..
