I got semisweet on sale, so brownies-time!
1 stick butter melted w/ 4oz choc
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
Beat sugar with eggs until light/fluffy/ribbons. Add vanilla and salt. Stir in cooled-ish butter and choc.
3/4 c flour
1/2 c mini choc.chips or chopped nuts
To the choco-eggs, carefully stir in flour and when that's mostly blended, add chips/nuts.
Spread into a parchment-lined 8x8 pan. Bake 350 until done. My pan took about 37 min in the small countertop oven.
With 1/2 c flour, the top is crunchy and the bottom is squidgy. With 3/4 c flour the crust is thin and tender, and the brownie is evenly soft throughout.
This comes out very differently with unsweetened choco. and triple the nuts (pecans). That version powered my teenage years, but did not gain height (treat food =/= grow food) alas.
