How to Make Best Ever Brownies From Baking With Julia Child

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until well combined.
4. Divide the egg-sugar mixture in half. Stir one half into the melted chocolate mixture until just combined.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the remaining egg-sugar mixture with an electric mixer until pale, thick, and doubled in volume (about 3-5 minutes).
6. Gently fold the lightened egg mixture into the chocolate mixture.
7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
10. Bake for 30-37 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake!
11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce for the ultimate indulgence.
