Erious chocolate brownies

This is an adaptation of the "Scrumptious Brownies" recipe found on a box
of
Baker's
unsweetened chocolate. I've reduced the amounts of sugar and flour from
the
original,
which I find makes for a very fudgey brownie.

INGREDIENTS (32 brownies)

8 oz unsweetened chocolate (8 squares)
1/2 lb butter
5 eggs
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)

PROCEDURE
Grease a 13x9 inch pan and pre-heat oven to 375 deg. F. Melt the chocolate
and the
butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Whisk until
smooth. Set aside
to cool while beating eggs.

Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for a full 10 minutes.

Blend in the chocolate-and-butter mixture at low speed.

Add flour, beating just to blend. Stir in walnuts, if desired. Bake 30 to
35
minutes. Do
not overbake. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the
center comes
out slightly dirty. Cool in pan, then cut into squares.

RATING:
Difficulty: easy to moderate. Time: 30 minutes preparation, 1 hour cooking
and cooling.
Precision: measure the ingredients.
