Classic Chewy Brownies

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line a 9x9 inch pan with aluminum foil, and grease foil.

2. 2

   In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, combine butter and chocolate. Heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth.

3. 3

   Mix in granulated sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and beat vigorously for about 3 minutes. The batter will look lumpy and grainy at first, but keep on beating until thick, smooth, and glossy.

4. 4

   Mix in cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, then fold in flour.

5. 5

   Pour batter into pan, and bake for 18-20 minutes. You don't want to over-bake them! The brownies will have set and risen oh-so-slightly, but the center should not be completely firm. A toothpick inserted into center should be covered with moist crumbs.
