Best Brownies Ever (They Will Change Your Life)
These decadent brownies are amazing slightly cooled from the oven with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.
Directions
1. Preheat the over to 325 degrees. Butter and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. In small saucepan, place 4 ounces chopped unsweetened chocolate on top of 2 sticks of butter. Stir until melted over low heat. If you use a microwave, take care not to splatter or scorch mixture.
3. Place 2 cups sugar into medium mixing bowl. Pour in chocolate-butter mixture and mix well. Add 4 large eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla and blend well.
4. Sift ½ cup of flour over the mixture and fold in gently, taking care to not over-mix.
5. Pour mixture into baking pan and bake for 30 – 40 minutes. For gooey brownies, bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean. For cakier brownies, bake five minutes longer.
Garnish with chocolate sauce, whipped cream or frost with chocolate or vanilla frosting. They will be clamoring for more!
Simple Chocolate Sauce
Drizzle this chocolate sauce over ice cream, brownies, or bananas, then store the rest in a microwavable container for next time. Keeps for two weeks.
Directions
1. Whisk together ¾ cup white sugar, 1 & ½ tablespoons flour, and ½ cup cocoa powder in a small mixing bowl to remove lumps.
2. Heat 1 & ¼ cups milk, 2 tablespoons butter, and ½ teaspoon vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat until butter melts.
3. Gradually whisk dry ingredients into milk mixture, then increase heat to medium-high and simmer mixture. Cook for 6 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whisk in a pinch of salt. Try it on all your favorite desserts!
