  • VANILLA BROWNIES

      
    Darkly chocolate, richly vanilla
     saucepan brownies;
     moist and fudgy in the center,
     chewy on the edges
      
    Hands-on time: 20 minutes
     Oven time: 30 – 40 minutes
     Make 16 bars
      
     
    • 1 cup sugar
     
    • 5 inch length of vanilla bean
     
     
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
     
    • 3-1/2 - 4 ounces bittersweet or unsweetened chocolate, in pieces
     
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla
     
    • 2 eggs
     
    • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
     
    • 1 cup flour
     
    • 1 cup chopped walnuts, preferably toasted (optional)
     
     
    • Powdered sugar
     
      

    Preheat the oven to 350F.

     

    In a food processor, whiz the sugar and vanilla bean for several minutes until the vanilla is in tiny flecks.

     

    Meanwhile, melt the butter over low heat in a large saucepan. Add the chocolate and stir until melted. Whisk in the vanilla and eggs, then the sugar mixture, salt, flour and nuts.

     

    Transfer the batter to a well-greased 8x8 cake pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 30 – 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool and cut into 16 squares. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
