Categories     Desserts

Time 1h

Yield 24 {2-inch|5 cm} brownies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sticks (½ pound) unsalted butter
8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped (I use Ghirardelli bars)
4 large eggs
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled off with knife

Steps:

  • Set the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with parchment paper (bring parchment up sides of pan so there is a slight overhang) and grease with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave until bubbling. Add the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted. The heat from the butter should be enough to melt the chocolate completely, but if not, place the chocolate-butter mixture in the microwave and heat for 20 seconds or so, then whisk again. (Alternatively, combine the butter and chocolate in a heat proof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted.)
  • Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add the salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla; whisk until smooth (be sure no lumps of brown sugar remain). Whisk in the chocolate-butter mixture, then add the flour and whisk until the batter is uniform.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the top has formed a shiny crust and the batter is moderately firm. Cool completely in the pan on a rack. If not serving right away, wrap pan in plastic wrap and keep at room temperature or refrigerated until the next day.
  • To cut brownies, first lift them out of the pan using the parchment overhang and transfer them to a cutting board. Separate the parchment from the edges. Using a sharp knife, trim away the edges and cut the brownies into 2-in squares.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months. After they are completely cooled, cut them into squares, wrap tightly in foil, and then place them in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

SUPERNATURAL BROWNIES



Supernatural Brownies image

This recipe is an accidental creation by Nick Malgieri, who (in a rare human moment for a pastry chef) once forgot to double the flour when baking his own fudge brownie recipe. He also adds a measure of brown sugar to the basic formula. The experts are divided as to whether the brown sugar actually contributes flavor or simply makes the brownie moister (molasses, which makes brown sugar brown, is powerfully hydrophilic). It's my belief that the slightly bitter taste of molasses acts as an invisible enhancer to the chocolate. The result is as complex and sophisticated as any terrine or truffle I have ever produced.

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or 3/4 cup whole walnuts, optional

Steps:

  • Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking pan and line with buttered parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for these brownies because they are starchy and have a high moisture content. This will help the brownies to be fudgy and moist.
  • Microwave the potatoes until they are very soft. This will make them easier to mash and will help the brownies to be smooth.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are very smooth. Any lumps will make the brownies grainy.
  • Use a food processor to blend the potatoes, butter, and chocolate until they are very smooth. This will help the brownies to be rich and creamy.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help them to rise evenly and prevent them from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

These super spud brownies are a delicious and unique dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. They are fudgy, moist, and have a rich chocolate flavor. The potato flour gives the brownies a unique texture that is both light and fluffy.
