Ridiculously Rich Brownies

This recipe is strange, but it works. Apologies for the poor photos, my camera has died.

Ingredients:


1.25 sticks unsalted butter
1.25 cups sugar
0.75 cups plus 2 table spoons unsweetened cocoa
0.25 teaspoons salt
0.5 teaspoons vanilla
0.5 teaspoons cinnamon
2  large eggs
0.5 cups flour
0.33 cups chocolate chips (or 0.66 without walnuts)
0.33 cups walnuts


Line a medium sized (about 8 inch) square baking pan with tin foil. You will want to leave foil hanging out on both sides so you can remove the brownies when cooked. Preheat oven to 325F.

Mix the butter, sugar, cocoa and salt in a small saucepan, and place it inside another saucepan of simmering water, creating a double boiler. While stirring gently, allow to heat until ingredients have melted together.

Add in the vanilla and cinnamon and stir. Then add in the eggs one at a time, beating until you get a smooth batter. Fold in the flour and mix until consistent.

Using a wooden spoon, stir for 40 stirs. Yes. 40.

Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, then pour into the brownie pan.

Bake for 20-30 minutes until cooked through. Remove using the foil to lift the brownies out of the pan.
Slice, and serve hot!
