If you haven’t already discovered this recipe, let me introduce you to the simplest, tastiest, fastest brownies ever. Remember how I said I miss Ladies Home Journal? Well this recipe first appeared in that magazine – in 1975. I’ve tweaked it just a touch.
Katharine Hepburn's Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 stick of butter
- 2 squares of unsweetened chocolate
- 1 c sugar
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ c flour
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 c walnuts, chopped (optional)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8″ square pan. Melt the butter and the chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the sugar, then add the eggs and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Stir in the flour and the salt and the walnuts, if you are using them. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool on a rack, then cut into 16 -20 squares. The brownies will keep well-covered for several days and will freeze well.Directions
