Brownies

Have these measured and ready before you begin.

• 3 eggs
• about 3/4 U.S. cup plus 1 tablespoon (200 ml by volume) granulated sugar
• 125 g butter (4.4 oz)
• 300 g dark chocolate (10.6 oz)
• about 3/4 U.S. cup plus 1 tablespoon (200 ml by volume) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt

Directions

1. Beat the eggs and sugar for at least 5 minutes, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is creamy.

2. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together, then slowly beat the warm mixture into the eggs.

3. Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt just until combined.

4. Spread in a parchment-lined 8-inch square pan.

5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22–28 minutes, until the edges are set and a tester in the center has moist crumbs.

6. Cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.
