      Title: Brownies Cockaigne
 Categories: Bars, Chocolate
      Yield: 18 Servings
 
    1/2 c  Butter
      4 oz Baking chocolate
      4    Eggs, room temperature
    1/4 ts Salt
      2 c  Sugar
      1 ts Vanilla
      1 c  All-purpose flour, sifted
      1 c  Raisins, chopped
 
  Preheat oven to 350 F. Melt chocolate and butter in a double
  boiler and then cool mixture. (If you don't cool the mixture, your
  brownies will be heavy and dry.)
  
  Beat eggs and salt until light in color and foamy in texture and
  gradually add sugar and vanilla. Continue beating until well creamed.
  
  With a few swift strokes, combine the cooled chocolate mixture into
  the eggs and sugar. (Even if you normally use an electric mixer, do
  this manually.)
  
  Before the mixture becomes uniformly colored, fold in the flour,
  again by hand (overworking the dough tends to cause toughness).
  Before the flour is uniformly colored, stir the raisin bits in
  gently.
  
  Bake in a 9x13-inch pan for about 25 minutes. Cut when cool.
