Steps:

• 1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 325 degrees.2. Whisk flour, salt and baking powder in a small bowl; set aside. Spray an 8-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Fit a sheet of foil in pan and up two sides, so you can use it as a handle to pull cooked brownies from pan (I used parchment paper). Spray sheet with cooking spray.3. Melt chocolates and butter in a medium bowl over a pan of simmering water. Remove from heat; whisk in sugar and vanilla. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating each one before adding the next. Continue to whisk until mixture is completely smooth and glossy. Add dry ingredients, whisk until just incorporated. Stir in nuts, if using.4. Pour batter into prepared pan; bake until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in center comes out with wet crumbs, 35-45 minutes.5. Cool brownies in pan on a wire rack for five minutes. Use handles to pull brownies from pan. Completely cool brownies on rack, at least three hours. Cut into squares and serve. If not serving immediately, do not cut brownies. Whole brownie cake can be wrapped in plastic wrap, then foil, and refrigerated for up to five days.

CHEWY AND FUDGY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Toast nuts on a foil lined sheet pan until fragrant, about 7 minutes.
• While nuts are toasting break chocolate up into small pieces and place in a medium microwave safe bowl with the butter. Melt Butter with chocolate in the microwave, about 2 minutes at 50% power. Stir and continue to microwave at 50% power as required, stirring every 60 seconds. This can also be done over a double boiler.
• Let allow chocolate mixture and roasted nuts to cool.
• Meanwhile lightly beat eggs and vanilla in a small bowl and prepare a pan, 8 x 8 for thick brownies and 13 x 9 for thin ones. Line pan with foil or parchment and grease. Leave enough lining overhanging to lift the brownies out of the pan when complete.
• In a heavy duty plastic bag smash nuts with a rolling pin until well crushed, add remaining dry & optional ingredients - shake to combine.
• Slowly pour egg mixture into chocolate while stirring, mixture will thicken slightly.
• Add dry ingredients in three batches, stir with a wooden spoon and ensure that each batch is fully incorporated before adding the next. Spread mixture into prepared pan with an angled spatula or a large spoon.
• Bake the 13 x 9 pan for 30-35 minutes, the 8 x 8 for 45-70 minutes Or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out just slightly moist. Cooking time varies all over the place depending on type of pan and your oven. I use natural aluminum pans, have a calibrated thermometer and keep a pizza stone in the oven for consistency. Whatever you do to insure that that you don't over cook, simply start checking when they start to smell like brownies! You can rotate the pan halfway through the cooking process to even things out if desired.
• Cool in the pan on a rack. Remove from pan by lifting foil liner, place on a cutting board and cut into squares.
