My Favorite Brownie Recipe

• 5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and place the rack in thecenter of the oven. Butter (or spray with a nonstick cooking spray) an 8 inch square pan.

Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler (or large bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water). Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa powder and sugar . Next, whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time,beating well after each addition. Finally, stir in the flour,  and salt.

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a little batter and a few moist clumps clinging to it. Do not over bake. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
