Taken from Bon Appetit - February 2011 "These are some of the best brownies we've ever had-fudgy in the middle and chewy on the outside with a shiny, crackly top. The browned butter adds a rich, nutty flavor." Cocoa is one of the major exports of Ghana.

  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes.

COCOA BROWNIES WITH WALNUTS AND BROWN BUTTER



COCOA BROWNIES WITH WALNUTS AND BROWN BUTTER image

Categories     Chocolate     Egg     Nut     Dessert     Bake

Yield 16 large brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup (2.4 ounces) unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably natural
Rounded 1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. water
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 cold large eggs
1/3 cup plus 1 Tbsp. unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup walnut pieces

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom and all 4 sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with foil and coat with nonstick vegetable spray (or use nonstick foil). Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and continue to cook, whisking gently, until it is golden brown and the milk particles suspended in it are reddish brown. Remove the pan from the heat and stop the cooking by immediately adding the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, water, and vanilla. Stir to blend. Let cool for 5 minutes; the mixture will still be fairly hot. Add the eggs one at a time, beating vigorously with a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula after adding each one. When the mixture looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add all of the flour and stir until you no longer see streaks of flour, then beat vigorously for 50 to 60 strokes with the wooden spoon or the spatula. Stir in the nuts. Spread the batter in the lined pan, swirling the surface if you like. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges almost clean (the brownies will still be soft and gooey even if the toothpick looks clean). Cool in the pan on a rack. Lift the edges of the foil liner and transfer the brownies to a cutting board. Slide a metal spatula under the brownies to detach them from the foil (or invert the brownies and peel off the foil, then turn the brownies right side up again). Cut into 16 or 25 squares. The brownies keep stored airtight, for 2 to 3 days.

Time 35m

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Heat over to 350º.
  • Grease 9" square pan.
  • Stir butter, sugar and vanilla in large bowl.
  • Add eggs; beat well with spoon.
  • Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
  • Add gradually to butter mixture, beating until well blended.
  • Stir in nuts if desired.
  • Spread into pan.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
  • Cool.
  • Frost if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final product. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%, and use unsalted butter and pure vanilla extract.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set properly.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

These cocoa brownies with walnuts and brown butter are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a chocolate fix, give these brownies a try. You won't be disappointed!
