What Are Serious Eaters Doing on New Year's Eve? What's Your Favorite Brownie Recipe?

whatever recipe i use i do a couple of my own twists- heavily buttering the bottom, especialy the corners and sprinkling a tiny bit of fleur de sel on that before i dust it lightly w/ good cocoa. i slather the butter so that it melts a bit over the edges of the batter during baking and you get a salty buttery crust.
and i use hot expresso for the liquid and throw that right on the cocoa powder which makes the chocolate flavor just sort of bloom.

So, Ed, what brownie recipe did you use?

I've been using more or less the same recipe for years that I altered slightly from a very traditional recipe by using brown sugar instead of white and bittersweet or semisweet chocolate instead of unsweetened.

Pre-heat oven to 350F.
Melt 4 oz. of best quality bittersweet chocolate with 1/3 cup of butter.
Remove from heat and add: 1 scant cup of brown sugar, 2 unbeaten eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or more, if you like), 1/2 cup flour, pinch of salt.

Mix until there are no flour streaks.

If you want to, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans and/or chocolate chunks or chips.

Bake in a buttered 8" square cake pan for 23 minutes. The top should look dry. DO NOT OVERBAKE.

Dorie Greenspan's brownie recipe with a blondie baked on top...can't remember the exact title of this recipe off the top of my head -- but WOWZERS were they fantastic! She's my baking goddess! SHE ROCKS!

I prefer dark chocolate. It has more flavor and makes me feel like I am doing something good for my body as well because of the antioxidants! :)
