Okay, let me tell you these are some of the moistest brownies I've ever eaten. What? You don't know whether or not you can trust what I say. I NEVER LIE ABOUT CHOCOLATE! Brussel sprouts yes, chocolate never.
Listen to me carefully. Run don't walk to your kitchen. In record time I want you to mix all the ingredients together. Then sit on the kitchen floor in front of your oven. Turn on the oven light. Then wait for it..... wait for it.... wait for it. BEEP. Remove brownies from oven and eat straight from pan. See.... best brownies ever!
Ingredients:
10 tablespoons (1-1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, cu into 1-inch pieces
1-1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder (spooned into cup to measure, then leveled)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons water
2 large eggs, chilled
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup walnut pieces ( I used pecans. I live in Georgia. It's against the law to use anything else)
Directions:
1. Position rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 325 degrees. Line 8x8xx2-inch metal baking pan with foil, pressing foil firmly against pan sides and leaving 2-inch overhang. Coat foil with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking until butter stops foaming and browned bits form at bottom of pan, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Immediately add sugar, cocoa, 2 teaspoons water, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to blend. Let cool 5 minutes (mixture will still be hot). Add eggs to hot mixture 1 at a time, beating vigorously to blend after each addition. When mixture looks thick and shiny, add flour and stir until blended. Beat vigorously 60 strokes. Stir in nuts. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
4. Bake brownies until toothpick inserted into center comes out almost clean (with a few moist crumbs attached), about 25 minutes. Cool in pan on rack. Using foil overhang, lift brownies from pan. Cut into 4 strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 4 browniees.

My favorite brownie recipe thus far has come from King Arthur Flour but I think you've got me talked into trying these!
OK, I'm a sucker - I'll try them, but I think I want hazelnuts in mine. I'm from New Zealand, where we don't have rules about the nuts, and right now hazelnuts are my favourite.

You are such a tease Those brownies look so good. My favorite brownie recipe had been From Better Homes and Gardens, circa 1970, but now my new fav is Nutella Fudge Brownies!
Nothing better than a brownie straight out of the oven. These have to be good with all of that butter in there!
I believe you. It wouldn't be right to lie about chocolate-especially brownies. I definitely have to make these. I love brownies- a lot.
They sound so good! I do love pecans but I usually put walnuts in brownies. I'll have to try these with pecans. :)
Oooh! Can't wait to try them! They sound so good:)
I'd have to leave out the nuts for my nutty family! Can't wait to try these :)
