Perfect Brownies image

Martha came across the recipe for these incredibly moist and delicious brownies in a cookbook. As it turns out, the recipe was developed by Elisabeth Luard, who happens to be the mother-in-law of Frances Boswell, food editor at Martha Stewart Living.

Yield Makes 15 small squares

Number Of Ingredients 7

18 tablespoon (2 sticks plus 2 tablespoon) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
12 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
1 3/4 cups pecan halves, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 7-by-11 1/2-by-2-inch baking pan. Line pan with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Combine butter and chocolate in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, and melt. Remove from heat, and let stand until cool. Sift flour and baking powder together into a medium bowl; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar. Continue beating until mixture is thick and mousse-like and a trail is left on the surface when the whisk is lifted, about 3 minutes more. Gradually fold in the chocolate mixture, alternating with the dry ingredients. Fold in nuts.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake until top is cracked and center is just firm to the touch, 40 to 45 minutes. (The brownies should not have a cakelike consistency). Remove from oven, and let cool in pan.
  • Cut into squares in the pan before turning out onto a board.

I'm allergic to nuts. Can I substitute the walnuts in this recipe with something else?

These brownies were absolutely delicious! The texture was perfect - fudgy and chewy with a crispy top. The flavor was rich and chocolatey, with a hint of saltiness. I will definitely be making these again.
