Brownie Recipe Characteristics
Step 1 – Add Sugar and water into a sauce pan. Warm on Med Low heat to start melting the sugar. As the water heats up add the butter. Stir so the mixture does not burn. If it starts to boil large bubble turn down heat. We want a smooth even heat to melt the sugar but not to get the mixture too hot. (If it were to get too hot the eggs would cook the instant we added them.) Remove from the heat.
Step 2 – Slowly add chocolate chips to sugar, water and butter mix. Stir the chips until they melt.
Once all the chips have been added and melted proceed to step 3.
Step 3 – Add the eggs to the melted chocolate. Gently stir the mixture until the eggs have mixed well. Once the eggs have been mixed add the Vanilla Extract.
Step 4 – Add the Baking Soda and Salt then stir. Next add the All-Purpose Flour. I add half the flour then stir then add the rest. Gently stir until the brownie batter is brown again..
Step 5 – Pour mixture into a greased 8×8 inch square pan. Place in a 325 degree preheated oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies set up. Do not over bake this recipe!
Use the toothpick test to check for doneness. If the wooden toothpick comes out still looking wet and gooey, the brownies are not done yet.
Cool in pan and cut into squares. Use a plastic knife to cut the brownies to avoid the jagged edges.
