Ooey Gooey Brownies For Two Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 serving-size oven-proof custard dishes.
• Place chocolate and butter in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high 1 minute. Stir until chocolate melts completely. Add sugar. Stir in beaten egg and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly. Add flour; mix well. Divide brownie batter between 2 prepared custard dishes.
• Bake in preheated oven until center of brownies has risen and surface appears glossy, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line an 8-by-8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper so that the paper overhangs two sides of the pan. Coat the parchment and sides of the pan with cooking spray.
• Combine the butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler and melt over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until pale yellow. Add the granulated sugar, espresso powder and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk until fluffy. Whisk together the flour and salt in a small bowl.
• Pour the chocolate mixture over the egg mixture and whisk until smooth. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it to the edges with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Bake until the batter is set and cracked on top, 30 minutes. Remove to a rack and let cool.
• For the icing: Whisk together the buttermilk, coffee, confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder until smooth.
• Remove the cooled brownies from the pan by using the parchment overhang to lift them out. Pour the icing over the top and spread with a small offset spatula. Let dry. Cut into squares and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
• Take two saucepans of roughly equal size. Fill the smaller one about halfway with water. Put the other one on top. Put them on a burner and turn it to just below boiling. You could also use a double boiler.
• Melt butter and chocolate together in the saucepan, and remove saucepans from heat. Dump out the water from the bottom one and dry it out.
• Stir the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture until it's mixed nicely. Slowly add the eggs and the vanilla. Next, stir in the flour and salt.
• Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch cake pan and bake for 12 minutes. (The batter won't be cooked through).
• Meanwhile, in the bottom saucepan, boil the cream, brown sugar, and butter for 3 minutes.
• Drizzle the brownies with the sugar mixture. Do this slowly or it'll go through the surface of the brownie.
• Bake the brownies for another 8-10 minutes. They should be golden, not browned.
• Sprinkle the brownies with the mini chocolate chips (if using,) give them a moment to melt, and then swirl them with the knife.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F butter 9x13 pan.
• In a saucepan over medium heat melt the butter. Stir in the sugar until dissolved. Remove mixture from heat and.
• beat in the eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition.
• Stir in the vanilla.
• Sift the flour, cocoa and salt together.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
• Stir in the walnuts.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30-40 minutes. Do not overbake!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F Prepare an 8x8 aluminum square baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray, or wipe with a small amount of shortening. In a bowl, combine the white sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. In a second bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Beat the eggs, one at a time, into the sugar and butter mixture, until thoroughly combined. Add the flour mixture in 2-3 additions, mixing slowly until just combined. Toss the chocolate chips in about 1TBS of flour, and then fold into the batter. Pour batter into pan and use a rubber spatula to level off the top. Bake for 20-25 minutees. Brownies are done when edges are set and have started to pull away from the sides of the pan. The center may appear to be slightly jiggly, but will firm up once brownies have cooled. Notes Omit the baking soda if you are using a Dutch process cocoa powder. Tossing the chocolate chips in flour will prevent them all from falling to the bottom of the brownies. Testing for doneness using a toothpick is tricky with this recipe, as the brownies are so fudgy that a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan will never come out clean even when the brownies are done baking. You can wrap cut brownies in saran wrap, place into a freezer bag, and freeze the leftovers! Thaw them out on the counter, nuke them in the microwave for a molten treat, or heck, just eat them straight out of the freezer.
