Equipment
- mixing bowl
- knife
- measuring spoons
- measuring cups
- 8x8-inch baking pan
- medium saucepan
- spatula
- whisk
- oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until fully combined.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, until the batter is smooth and shiny.
- Gently fold in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and glossy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
