Introduction
Dark, fudgy, and wonderful — what could be better?
Ingredients
| 1 | cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the pan |
| ¾ | cup unbleached, all-purpose flour, plus extra for flouring the pan |
| 4 | oz. unsweetened chocolate |
| 4 | eggs |
| 1½ | cups sugar |
| 1 | tsp. vanilla extract |
| ⅔ | cup shelled walnuts, coarsely chopped |
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in the top part of a double boiler over boiling water. When melted, set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and lemon-colored; add the vanilla. Fold the chocolate mixture into the eggs and sugar. Mix thoroughly.
- Sift the flour and fold gently into the batter, mixing just until blended. Fold in the walnuts.
- Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until the center is just set, 25 minutes. Do not overbake.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before cutting into large bars.

Hmmm. I have a copy of the original Silver Palate cookbook and it says 1/2 c of flour, not 3/4 c.

In the 25th anniversary edition of the Silver Palate, which we’re using as our source, the brownie recipe contains 3/4 cup flour. Sometimes different editions contain alterations to recipes; we’re sorry for the resulting confusion.

I’ve been making these for years, and they’re definitely better with 3/4 cup of flour. It was a good change.
