Barefoot Contessa's Brownies
none
1 lb unsalted butter
28 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 x-large eggs
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups chopped walnuts
These are from the Barefoot Contessa by Ina Garten
1. Preheat oven to 350*.
2. Butter and flour a 12x18x1 inch baking sheet.
3. Melt together the butter, 1 lb. (16 0z) of the chips, and the
unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl
over simmering water.
4. Allow to cool slightly.
5. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee
granules,
vanilla, and sugar.
6. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to
cool
to room temperature.
7. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 c of flour, the baking powder, and
salt.
8. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture.
9. Toss the walnuts and 12 oz of chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 c
flour,
then add them to the
chocolate batter.
10. Pour into the baking sheet.
11. Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven
shelf
to force the air to escape
from between the pan and dough.
12. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
13. Do not overbake!
14. Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into squares.
15. Ina's notes: Flouring the chips and walnuts keeps them from sinking
to
the bottom.
16. It is very important to allow the batter to cool well before adding
the chips, or the chips
will melt and ruin the brownies.
17. This recipe can be baked up to a week in advance, wrapped in
plastic,
and refrigerated.
