Honey Nut Brownies

• 1 stick unsalted butter cut into 8 pieces
• 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup honey Dorie recommends a mixed blossom honey
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chopped nuts coarsely, pecans, walnuts or almonds work well

1. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter until just smooth. Set aside. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9 x 9 inch pan with foil, then butter or non-stick spray the foil.
2. Working with a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the eggs and salt together on medium-high speed until light and foamy. Add the honey, sugar, and vanilla and continue to beat for two minutes, or until well blended and smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the chocolate-butter mixture, mixing only until just incorporated. On low speed, add flour and mix until it just disappears into the batter. Using a spatula fold in, the nuts then scrape batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the brownies have risen and are beautifully brown, and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack, peel away foil and invert onto another cooling rack. Cool to room temperature right side up, then dust with either cocoa powder or confectioners sugar.
