Brownies: A Dungeon Master's Fuel

So a few weeks ago I got a request for brownies and was provided box brownie mix, however a years ago I used to make homemade brownies out of an amazing cook book by Maida Heatter. They were called "All American Brownies" with melted chocolate and all of the ingredients subsequently mixed in. Which is mildly difficult, as the first time I made it (a few years ago) I just made chocolate covered scramble eggs. These, luckily turned out much better.

           

                               (Walnuts included!)                                          (I got the DM to help with the dishes!!)

Maida Heatter's All American Brownies

- 1/4 lb (1 stick) butter

- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 2 eggs (large)

- 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour

- pinch of salt

-2 oz (generous 1/2 cup) chopped walnuts

Prepare and 8X8 inch cake pan, first lining the bottom and sides with foil and then butter the foil.

Place butter and chocolate in a heavy 2, or larger saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until all melted or smooth. Set aside to cool while you measure out the rest of your ingredients.

Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, stirring until completely incorporated each time. Add the floor and salt and stir until all incorporated. Mix in nuts

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean but not dry. They will be moist.

Set aside to cool and then remove from pan, cut and enjoy! I would advise a nice glass or milk.
