Brownies Extraordinaire

The deliciousness of these brownies is due to a slight mishap that turned out very well. The recipe on the Bakers chocolate box said large pan; we went smaller (by accident) and a classic was born. Clearly, you never know what might happen in the kitchen, so do not despair! One minor warning: do not make this recipe if you crave solitude. The smell of baking brownies will have many, many people pounding on your door.

4 squares Bakers unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 stick butter
2 cups sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour



Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt chocolate and butter in medium size sauce pan. Watch carefully. Use low heat and stir often as chocolate burns easily. When both are nearly melted, remove from heat and continue stirring until completely melted.

Stir in sugar and salt until combined.

Stir in eggs vigorously. Your mixture is warm and you want to incorporate eggs before they set.

Stir in vanilla.

Gently stir in flour until all combined.

Pour into greased 8X8 pan and cook for 45 minutes.
