Brownie recipe

So, here's the brownie recipe I was teasing PF with:

2 sticks butter
4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
3 oz. unsweetened chocolate
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1 c. all purpose flour
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1 tsp. salt

Heat the oven to 350 F and line a 9 x 13 inch cake pan with foil or parchment and spray or grease the paper/foil. Melt the chocolate with the butter until smooth, then stir in the vanilla and half the sugar. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and the rest of the sugar until well combined and just a little bit fluffy, then add the chocolate mixture. Sift in the flour, salt, and cocoa powder and stir just to combine. You can add a tablespoon of liqueur at this point if you like (or a couple spoonfuls of instant coffee or fold in nuts, chocolate or peanut butter chips or any other add in you like).

Pour into the pan, smooth the top, and bake for roughly 30 minutes or a little less. The center should be just set and a toothpick inserted into the center should still have several crumbs on it. Cool slightly, remove from the pan, cut, and serve.

OK, where's the explanation about time changing? You are still the Teast of the Night.

ks, you're forgiven. It looks as gooey as you hinted.

mm ks, that looks close enough to my long-lost brownie recipe that it's probably worth a try. Thanks!

Here's a question. Why the parchement paper? Why not just grease up the pan?

Parchment

The parchment/foil is helpful in getting the brownies out of the pan. You make a sling out of it--fold the liner so that it completely covers the bottom of the pan and overhangs the long sides of the pan by a few inches. Then when the brownies are done and have cooled for about 10 minutes, you can just lift the entire thing out of the pan by the liner. Peel down the edges and cut with a large, serrated knife. It makes cutting the brownies a lot easier and neater and you can eat them while still warm this way without having a huge mess.

This method also works well for cheesecake squares and any other bar cookie.
