Recipe for "brownies-2"

NAME

     BROWNIES-2 - Serious chocolate brownies
     This is an adaptation of the ``Scrumptious Brownies'' recipe
     found  on  a  box  of  Baker's  unsweetened chocolate.  I've
     reduced the amounts of sugar and flour  from  the  original,
     which I find makes for a very fudgey brownie.

INGREDIENTS (32 brownies)

     250 g     unsweetened chocolate (8 squares)
     250 g     butter
     5         eggs
     500 g     sugar
     15 ml     vanilla extract
     150 g     flour
     250 g     coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Grease a 33x22 cm pan and  pre-heat  oven  to  190
               deg. C.
          (2)  Melt the chocolate and the butter in the top of  a
               double  boiler  over  simmering water. Whisk until
               smooth.  Set aside to cool while beating eggs.
          (3)  Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for
               a full 10 minutes.
          (4)  Blend in the chocolate-and-butter mixture  at  low
               speed.
          (5)  Add flour, beating just to blend. Stir in walnuts,
               if desired.
          (6)  Bake 30 to 35  minutes.   Do  not  overbake.   The
               brownies  are  done when a toothpick inserted into
               the center comes out slightly dirty.
          (7)  Cool in pan, then cut into squares.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy to moderate.  Time: 30 minutes preparation,
     1   hour   cooking  and  cooling.   Precision:  measure  the
     ingredients.
