Katharine Hepburn Brownies. Chocolate Brownies.

Katharine Hepburn Brownies. Easy Recipe.

The rumor is that this recipe was given to a gossip columnist Liz Smith by the one and only Katharine Hepburn.

60 g (2 oz) dark chocolate
113 g (4 oz) unsalted butter
200 g (7 oz, or 1 cup) sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
30 g (1 oz, or 1/4 cup) flour
1/4 tsp salt
100 g (3.5 oz, or 1 cup) walnut halves

Preheat the oven to 165 C (325 F).

In a heatproof bowl, break chocolate into pieces, add butter. Place the bowl over a pot with simmering water, melt chocolate and butter. Bring the bowl back to the table, add sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, flour and salt, mix everything well. Add the walnuts, mix well, so the nuts are evenly distributed in the batter.

Line a 23 x 23 cm (9 x 9) square pan with foil, put some butter or oil on the foil, so when brownies are ready and cool you can take them out easily. Pour the batter in the foiled tin.

Bake in a preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Brownies are ready when toothpick inserted in them comes out with a few crumbs.

Cool them completely, then cut into 16 or 25 pieces (or as you desire).

And enjoy!
