Classic Unsweetened Chocolate Brownies


Use high quality chocolate for these brownies. I like these made with callebaut or scharffen-berger unsweetened. To make these with bittersweet chocolate instead, use 6 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, 7 tablespoons butter and 1 cup sugar. To make with semisweet chocolate, substitute 10 ounces semisweet chocolate, 5 tablespoons butter and 2/3 cup sugar.

Steps


Preheat oven to 350f line a 8x8 pan with foil , leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
Melt chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pot of barely simmering water until smooth , stirring often.
Remove bowl from heat and stir in sugar vanilla and salt.
Add eggs one at a time , stirring thoroughly.
Stir in flour and beat with a spoon or rubber spatula for a minute or two until smooth and glossy.
Stir in nuts.
Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth to even it.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with some thick gooey batter clinging to it.
