ABSOLUTELY BEST BROWNIES



Absolutely Best Brownies image

This are the easiest and most delicious brownies that I have ever eaten. They are so moist and super quick and easy to make. For best results, use a Dutch processed cocoa. For less cake-like brownies, use all-purpose flour instead of self rising.

Fudgy, Spicy Cinnamon Chile Brownies Recipe image

Yield 25 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ounces high quality dark chocolate (at least 72 percent cacao), finely chopped
10 tablespoons (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons) butter, plus extra for greasing
2 tablespoons guajillo or aleppo chile, freshly ground
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup flour

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan over low heat (or in a bowl over a pot of boiling water), melt the chocolate and butter with the chile, cinnamon, and salt, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.
  • Line a 9" x 9" metal baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Use enough to create a lip over the sides of the pan. If using foil, lightly grease with butter.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate mixture with the sugar. When combined, add the eggs. Mix till smooth, then fold in the flour. Transfer to the baking pan. Bake until the brownies feel firm and a paring knife poked into the center comes out clean (you still want a few crumbs to stick), about 30 minutes.
  • Using the parchment or foil lip, remove the brownies from the pan and cool completely. To greatly improve the texture and flavor, wrap the brownie slab in plastic and let it sit for several hours or up to overnight at room temperature. Slice into 9 large, 16 medium, or 25 small squares, and serve. This Recipe Appears In Spice Hunting: Pairing Chilies and Chocolate
