A quick appearance to say: these are the best brownies I\u2019ve ever had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all have different opinions on the topic, I know, but such are the power of these specimens that they shattered all my notions of what a brownie should be\u2014and I\u2019d been firmly in the cake-y camp, you know?\u2014and replaced them with these burnished beauties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Nigel\u2019s words, they\u2019re as \u201cdense and fudgy as Glastonbury Festival mud.\u201d I like that. Why can\u2019t we all try to be that way?<\/p>\n\n\n

NIGEL SLATER\u2019S BROWNIES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Makes one 9\u2033 square pan
From\u00a0The Kitchen Diaries<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a firm believer in weight measurements these days, and as a consequence, all the volume measurements below are approximate. In other words, I recommend getting a digital scale! It\u2019s tremendously helpful. Also, this recipe is from the UK version of\u00a0The Kitchen Diaries, hence the metric measurements. But don\u2019t you prefer metric measurements anyway? They\u2019re so reliable.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong>:<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 60 grams (a scant 1\/2 cup) all-purpose flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 60 grams (1\/2 cup) cocoa powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/2 t baking powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 200 grams (1-2\/3 cups, roughly chopped) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 300 grams (1-1\/2 cups) granulated sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 250 grams (2 4-oz. sticks plus 2 T) unsalted butter, room temperature<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 3 large eggs, plus 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Directions:<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Line a 9\u2033 square pan with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a small bowl. Melt the chocolate and set it aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until soft, creamy, and a bit airy. Add the lightly beaten eggs a little at a time, incorporating them fully between each pour. Mix in the melted chocolate. Finally, fold in the flour mixture gently but firmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smooth out the top, and bake for about 30-35 minutes. The brownie will be a bit jiggly when it comes out of the oven, but the top should have puffed slightly, and a toothpick stuck through the middle should come out sticky but without raw batter attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cool for an hour, during which the brownie will solidify more fully. Cut into squares and enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
