Brownies

We could all use a brownie right now right? Here’s how DaVee Harned from Wild Olive makes hers.

Ingredients

Flour: 1 and 1/4 cups
Salt: 1 teaspoon
Cocoa Powder: 2 tablespoons
Dark Chocolate: 11 ounces
Butter: 1 cup
Sugar: 1 and 1/2 cups
Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup
Eggs: 5
Vanilla: 2 teaspoons

  • Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
  • Sift the flour, salt, and cocoa powder together          and set aside.
  • Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter.
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the sugars until well combined.
  • Add half the eggs to the mixture until combined.
  • Add the remaining eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Do not over beat        the batter, it will make the brownies cakey.
  • Fold in the flour mixture until just a bit of the flour mixture is visible. 
  • Bake in a 9×13 for about 30 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
