Naked Brownies
- 10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 9 inch square baking pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- n a heavy saucepan, over very low heat, melt the chocolate and the butter together. Cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, sift the flour and salt together, set aside.
- In large bowl, whisk together the sugar and the eggs. Whisk until they are just mixed, don't over-beat the mixture. That's the trick to getting brownies that have a crackled top. Whisk in the vanilla bean paste. Stir in the melted chocolate.
- Add the flour mixture. Stir to mix. Turn into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool (if you can wait that long) and indulge!
