Killer Brownies!

Thank you, France, for forcing me to learn to cook from scratch!

Killer Brownies

4oz. Unsweetened chocolate (Cote d'or 86% noir brut chocolat)

1 cup unsalted butter (225g buerre doux)

1/2 tsp salt (1/2 coffee spoon)

1 tsp vanilla (1 coffee spoon)

2 cups sugar (500ml)

4 eggs

3/4 cup flour (200ml)

Preheat oven to 325 (220)

Line bottom of a baking dish with parchment paper. Butter paper and sides of dish. Set aside. 

Melt chocolate and butter in microwave oven for 1 minute, stir, and repeat 1 minute. 

Add to melted chocolate and butter: salt, vanilla, and sugar and mix well with wooden spoon. Then add eggs, one at a time (still using spoon). Gently stir in flour until the mixture is smooth. Pour into prepared dish.

Bake approximately 40 minutes or until a knife comes out relatively smooth. It is super important not to over cook the brownies as they need to be a little gooey.

They are best eaten the next day, if you can manage to hold yourself back!! Enjoy!

Gros bisous de American Brownies et a demain.

Love, Charley
