Intensely Fudgy Brownies


8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped (Scharffen Berger or Valrhona 70% bittersweet is delicious)
8 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
12 tablespoons butter + extra for pan
2 cups sugar ½ tsp. salt 4 eggs 2/3 cup flour
½ tsp. vanilla
1-1 ½ cup chopped nuts

Set up Egg for an indirect cook and stabilize at 325 degrees,( about 375 dome temp) making sure you have a well established, "clean" fire. Prepare a 12" round cake pan by buttering the sides and bottom and lining w/parchment paper for easy removal of brownies.

Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler setup (large glass or stainless bowl set over saucepan of simmering water). Once chocolate and butter mixture is smooth, remove from heat. By hand, beat in the salt, sugar, vanilla and eggs one at a time. Add the flour and stir vigorously until the batter become shiny and pulls from the sides of the bowl. Stir in nuts, and turn mixture into prepared pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes.

PS...I'll add a pic of what I think is the best set-up for baking brownies on the Large...just give me a bit to find it!!

Spring Chicken

HEY!!! We're "neighbors!!! Just kidding. I don't want to get around you until you're completely cured of whatever ails you. I've had just about all the medical treatment lately I can stand.

Enjoy...

I think you did...Ann made a batch, and so did I, but I spread some Raspberry Chipotle sauce on mine as they were cooling!

I really dig the dark chocolate and rasp/chipotle' sauce.... together!!

Looks fantastic. Now I'm really bummed you missed the eggfest. We missed you and your skills, Scott

Chubby

I know there are various baking set-ups used...but these Brownies, and some other "flourless" type Cakes and Breads we do are dense,(and in this case... Fudgey)!
Since they don't rise a lot...they take a while longer to cook through.



Protecting the bottom and sides from burning, (while waiting for the center to firm up) is the reason I like this set up the best!!



Even...radiant heat (from the top and bottom) is what you want, and this helps a bunch.

Chubby

Scott!!

I owe you an apology!

I did get your last note,
and as you know, planned on making the Fest...but got sick, so... no fun for fest for Evie'!!

I'm finally...finally, starting to feel a bit better...and my head and chest are clearing up a some!!

I'll fire you off an email tonight!

Double Bogey

If I was close enough to smell them I would be close enough to eat them. Your company would only have a few crumbs to feast on.

Nicely done.
