The first time I made brownies without my mother was in the late 1960s, using a recipe from Paula Peck, the cookbook writer. Over the years, I tinkered with that and a similar version by Marion Cunningham. As my daughters learned to cook, they experimented a bit further. But we never really strayed from the originals. As long as you keep the flour to a minimum and don't add chemical leavening like baking powder, you will produce a true and beautiful brownie.

Time 40m

Yield About 1 dozen brownies

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted or unsalted butter, more for greasing pan
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch salt if you use unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring occasionally. When chocolate is just about melted, remove from heat, and continue to stir until mixture is smooth. Meanwhile, grease an 8-inch-square baking pan. If you like, also line it with waxed or parchment paper and grease that.
  • Transfer mixture to a bowl, and stir in sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add flour (and salt and vanilla if you are using them), and stir to incorporate. Stop stirring when no traces of flour remain.
  • Pour into pan, and bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until set and barely firm in the middle. Cool on a rack before cutting.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: Good chocolate is key to making great brownies. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% and avoid chocolate chips, as they don't melt as well.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will make the brownies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and keep their shape.

Conclusion:

James Beard's brownie recipe is a classic for a reason. These brownies are fudgy, chewy, and chocolatey, with a perfectly crisp crust. They're the perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you're a beginner baker or a seasoned pro, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
