How to Make Easy Homemade Brownies

1. Melt Chocolate and Butter

Begin your brownie journey by taking a small saucepan and gently coaxing the unsweetened chocolate and butter to melt together over a low heat on the stove. Once the chocolate and butter are harmoniously melted, set your saucepan aside.

2. Prepare Baking Pan

Now, find an 8-inch-square baking pan and give it a good greasing to make sure your brownies can be removed with ease after baking. If you prefer an extra insurance policy, line the pan with waxed or parchment paper as well.

3. Mix Sugar

Transfer your velvety chocolate mixture into a bowl. This is where you'll invite sugar to the party, stirring it in until fully incorporated.

4. Add Eggs

Next, it's time to add the eggs. Crack them in one at a time, giving each a thorough beating to ensure they're fully integrated.

5. Add Dry Ingredients

Now, sift in the all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt (if you're not using salted butter), and a hint of vanilla extract. Stir these in just until you can't see any more dry flour, but resist the urge to overmix.

6. Bake

Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 20 to 30 minutes.

7. Cool and Serve

The last act of your brownie baking saga is to allow them to cool. Once cooled, cut into squares, serve, and watch them disappear before your eyes.
