Best Brownies EVER

I'm normally a Betty Crocker Brownie Mix kinda gal, but when I found this recipe, I knew I had to try it and I was not disappointed. It is SO RICH and SO THICK, you have to have a little vanilla ice cream with it to wash it down. As my sister in law, Ashley would say, "It's a party in my mouth!"

Best Brownie's Ever

  • Soft butter, for greasing the pan
  • Flour, for dusting the buttered pan
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup melted butter
  • 11/4 cups cocoa, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup flour, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.

In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.


HINTS:
*Instead of buttering the pan to grease it, I put wax paper in it and then poured the batter on to the wax paper. When I took it out of the oven, I just pulled the wax paper up and put it on a cooling raking. Makes it for an EASY cleanup.

*I used regular salt instead of kosher salt, because really, who has kosher salt just sitting in their cupboard? Not me...
