Andrew Jiang's World Famous Cocoa Brownies from Scratch
Description
Brownies from the box can stay at the supermarket. With this
recipe originally by Alton Brown,
you'll be making melt-in-your-mouth brownies in the same amount of time as it takes to open a box.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan
In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow
Add both sugars
Add remaining ingredients (melted butter, vanilla extract, cocoa, flour, salt), and mix to combine
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes
Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean
When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.
