           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.
