Katharine Hepburns Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Melt together 1 stick butter and 2 squares unsweetened chocolate and take the saucepan off the heat.
• 2. Stir in 1 cup sugar, add 2 eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and beat the mixture well.
• 3. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. (In the original recipe, 1 cup chopped walnuts is added here as well.)
• 4. Bake the brownies in a buttered and floured 8-inch-square pan at 325°F for about 40 minutes.
• You can cut these brownies into squares, once they have cooled, and eat them out of the pan, but it is so much nicer to pile them on a fancy plate, from which people are going to eat them with their hands anyway. If you want to smarten up your act you can put a square of brownie on a plate with a little blob of créme fraîche and a scattering of shaved chocolate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F degrees; butter and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Melt the chocolate with the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
• Remove from heat and stir in sugar.
• Next, stir in the eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth.
• Add the flour, salt and nuts and stir until smooth.
• Pour into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
