• I have read all the great reviews and learned from them, thank you all. Now I line my pan with buttered alumunin foil or parchment paper. This works very well.

PERFECT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F with rack on the lower-middle level.
• Spray 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick spray.
• Cut a 16-x-8-inch sheet of foil into the pan and up and over two sides and roll up overhanging sides (you will use this as a handle to remove brownies after they are cooked).
• Spray the foil with non-stick spray as well.
• In small bowl, stir together the flour, salt and baking powder.
• In a medium-sized bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together (you can do this in microwave, or over a pan of simmering water).
• After the chocolate is melted, remove from the heat and whisk in the sugar and vanilla.
• Whisk in the eggs one at a time.
• Continue to stir until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
• Add the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated.
• Stir in the nuts if you are using them.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Bake until toothpick inserted into the center comes out with wet crums, 35 to 45 minutes (If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overcooked).
• Cool the brownies in the pan on a wire rack fo 5 minutes.
• Using the foil handles, pull the cooked brownie from the pan and turn it out on the rack upside down, to cool completely, this will take nearly an hour.
• Cut the brownies into 16 squares.
• (Note: If you are not going to serve immediately, wrap the whole brownie in plastic wrap, then foil and refrigerae for up to 5 days or freeze).

PERFECT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 7-by-11 1/2-by-2-inch baking pan. Line pan with parchment paper; set aside.
• Combine butter and chocolate in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, and melt. Remove from heat, and let stand until cool. Sift flour and baking powder together into a medium bowl; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar. Continue beating until mixture is thick and mousse-like and a trail is left on the surface when the whisk is lifted, about 3 minutes more. Gradually fold in the chocolate mixture, alternating with the dry ingredients. Fold in nuts.
• Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake until top is cracked and center is just firm to the touch, 40 to 45 minutes. (The brownies should not have a cakelike consistency). Remove from oven, and let cool in pan.
• Cut into squares in the pan before turning out onto a board.
