What makes a perfect brownie? The chocolate that is used to make them. Chocolate with low cocoa content will result in brownies that are too sweet. A strong dark chocolate can make brownies too sharp. The perfect brownie is made with a chocolate containing between 42% and 50% cocoa, and you just found the recipe! These brownies are Chef Eddy's favorite. They are rich and fudgy with a crackly top. You'll never go back to a boxed brownie mix again after trying these.
*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spray an 8.5x11-inch pan with non-stick spray, or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
Sift together flour, cocoa powder and baking soda. Set aside.
Cut butter in cubes and place in a bowl along with chocolate. Melt on low in a microwave, or sit bowl over barely simmering water while constantly stirring. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until well blended. Add sugar and whisk vigorously for 1 minute until well combined. Add melted chocolate along with salt and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
Add flour mixture and stir to combine. Add nuts.
Spread batter into prepared pan.
Place in oven and bake until center of brownies feels slightly firm when pressed with a finger, approximately 40 minutes.
