For company and every time there is a local bake sale, I bake a batch of these fabulous brownies. Most everyone who tastes them says, Yum! These are the best brownies I have ever eaten! My cooking background came from my mother. Just watching her helped educate me in the ways of the kitchen . Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons baking cocoa |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
brown butter frosting: |
1/2 cup butter |
4 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons half-and-half cream |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
glaze: |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture.
2. Spread into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool on wire rack.
3. For frosting, in a heavy saucepan, cook and stir butter over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Pour into a bowl; beat in the confectioners' sugar, cream and vanilla. Frost cooled brownies.
4. For glaze, in a microwave melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Drizzle over the frosting. Cut into bars. Yield: 3 dozen.
