Serving size: 32 servings Erious 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) 8 oz unsweetened chocolate (8 squares) 1/2 lb butter 5 eggs 2 1/2 cups sugar 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups flour 2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts (optional) PROCEDURE Grease a 13x9 inch pan and pre-heat oven to 375 deg. F. 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. Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for a full 10 minutes. Blend in the chocolate-and-butter mixture at low speed. Add flour, beating just to blend. Stir in walnuts, if desired. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out slightly dirty. 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. ]USENET Cookbook 8 Aug 87 -- CONTRIBUTOR: Ed Gould mt Xinu, Berkeley, California, USA -----
