Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Fudge Brownies
- Melt chocolate over a double boiler or melt in microwave with one stick of butter ( 4oz)
- In stages making sure to mix each ingredient in completely before adding the next ingredient.
- Add each ingredient one at a time into the melted Chocolate and Butter
- Start by adding the 3 eggs into the melted chocolate and mix. Allowing the chocolate to cool off a little will help make sure the eggs do not cook.
- Next add the ground coffee followed by the white & brown sugar, honey, vanilla extract & sea salt.
- Sift the pastry flour before adding it to the other ingredients which helps prevent lumps ( Adding in 3 stages also helps to avoid lumps )
- Place parchment paper on the bottom of an 8-by-8 baking pan. Or wrap oven-safe pot in aluminum foil making sure to wrap the handle as well. Makes for easy removal of brownies and clean up.
- Bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes or till a toothpick will come out clean.
Notes
- Pastry flour creates a softer, tender brownie.
- Ground coffee enhances chocolate flavor without a coffee taste.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Can be frozen for longer storage.
- Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
