Ingredients:

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 sticks (16 Tbsp) butter

4 large eggs

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp instant/dried espresso

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups sugar

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Valhrona but use any good cocoa powder)

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 cup toasted, chopped walnuts

Equipment:

oven

baking paper

baking pan

frying pan

mixing bowl

bowl

whisk

toothpicks

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9 X 13" baking pan with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper so the parchment hangs over the sides (you can lift the brownies out of the pan). Spray the parchment paper. Heat the butter in a large skillet until it foams and continue to cook on medium, stirring constantly until it starts to brown. The butter will have foam on top so watch carefully to make sure the solid bits on the bottom do not burn; you should also notice a distinct scent as it starts to brown. An amazing one too! Let the butter cool before continuing.Combine the butter, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.Add cocoa powder to the bowl, mix on low speed until well blended.Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and espresso in a bowl and whisk. Add them to the mixture in the mixing bowl and beat well.Stir in the toasted nuts and pour the mixture into the prepared pan.Bake 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do NOT overbake.Let cool and cut into squares.Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries.

Food Joke

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "It's the druggist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone." Immediately the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist and demand an apology. Before he could say more than a few words, the druggist told him, "Now, just a minute, please listen to my side of it... This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I locked the house with both house and car keys inside. I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I got to the store there was a bunch of people waiting for me to open up. I opened and started waiting on these people, and all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook." He continued, "Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels; the phone was still ringing. When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with bunch of perfume bottles on it...all of them hit the floor and broke. Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer...and, honest mister, all I did was tell her!"
