TWD: Classic Brownies

Although the Tuesdays with Dorie group is in the home stretch of baking our way through Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan, we're still uncovering basic recipes, like this week's choice by Anne Strawberry. Classic Brownies.

We've made brownies with mint, brownies with white chocolate, Julia Child brownies, espresso cheesecake brownies, brownie buttons, Katharine Hepburn brownies, chipster-topped brownies, quintuple chocolate brownies, French brownies, not to mention all the blondies. But this week, we got to make simple, perfect brownies.

Melt butter and chocolate, add eggs, sugar, vanilla, flour, and salt. I used a block of bittersweet chocolate I picked up at Whole Foods a while ago.

You can tell how much we liked them in the picture above. I made them in a flash (all in a 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup, by the way), baked and (barely) cooled them, then turned around. Hey, wait a minute! Where did the brownies go?

Thanks, Anne! You can find the recipe for these brownies on Anne's exceptionally cute blog, which is also full of other delicious things to eat.

    I love every kind of brownie...I can't believe we have made so many over the years.

    So many brownies, all delicious I might add. These were just about perfect. Easy to make, just delicious!
    Have a great day.

    LOL, gotta love the disappearing brownies! My husband is generally pretty good about asking if I've photographed something before he digs in but sometimes you just can't help yourself :)

    Brownies are so fun to make (wish they were a little trickier to eat, it's impossible to resist!) Glad you guys liked these!

    I definitely understand the disappearing brownies. I had to make these twice because I didn't get pics of the first batch. =)

    I love the photo, it says it all about this recipe. I think this may be my favorite brownie recipe from Baking.

    I loved these too. I am a bit behind on some of the brownie recipes. I'm making the French Chocolate Brownies this week and can't wait to see how I like them.

    Mine disappeared too quickly as well, and I only have myself to blame.

    These do look like they were a hit! I was surprised by how yummy these were. We kept carving off little bites.
