MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Ina Garten's "Outrageous Brownies" Categories: Cookies, Chocolate, Nuts Yield: 20 servings 1 lb Unsalted butter 28 oz Semisweet chocolate chips; - separated 6 oz Unsweetened chocolate 6 lg Eggs 3 tb Instant coffee granules 2 tb Pure vanilla extract 2 1/4 c Sugar 1 c A-P flour; +1/4 c, separated 1 tb Baking powder 1 ts Salt 3 c Walnuts; chopped Set the oven @ 350°F/175°C. Grease and flour an 18x12x1" baking sheet. Melt the butter, 1 lb of chocolate chips and the unsweetened chocolate together in a medium heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir continuously until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and come together into a very smooth mixture. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla and sugar. Pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 oz of chocolate chips with the remaining 1/4 cup of flour, then add to the chocolate batter. Mix until everything just comes together and there are no bits of flour remaining. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then pull the brownies from the oven and hit the baking sheet against the counter top once quickly, forcing the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. (It's the same method used for pan-bang cookies.) Bake for about 15 more minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Don't overbake. Allow to cool thoroughly and refrigerate. Cut into 20 large squares to serve (or cut into smaller squares for more brownies). Recipe by Ina Garten Presented by: Risa Lichtman, Portland, Oregon.
