Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

Batter

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Melt them together gently over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  3. Mix Sugar and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well blended and slightly thickened.
  4. Combine Chocolate Mixture with Eggs: Slowly fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Add Flour: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour just until no streaks remain, being careful not to overmix to maintain the fudgy texture.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top has developed a shiny, crackled crust and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares. This resting time helps them set and enhances their fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate for best flavor.
  • Do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy and moist.
  • Cooling completely before slicing is essential to prevent crumbling.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
