FARMER BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat the butter, water and cocoa until the butter is melted and the ingredients are very hot. The mixture doesn't need to come to a boil. This can be done in a saucepan on the stovetop or in the microwave.
• Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt; add to cocoa mixture. Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla and beaten eggs.
• Mix by hand or at low speed with a hand mixer until smooth (do not overmix).
• Pour into greased 10″ x 15″ cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting.
• Combine the first three ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients are very hot, but not boiling. You can also do this in the microwave, stopping and stirring a few times in between.
• Sift the icing sugar to remove lumps, and add to butter/coca/buttermilk mixture along with vanilla. Beat with mixer until smooth.
• Allow cake to cool for 5-10 minutes and pour icing over warm cake. Spread evenly with an off-set spatula or knife. The heat of the cake will melt the icing to form a thick, glossy glaze.
• NOTE: No buttermilk? Make one cup of buttermilk by using 1 tablespoon white vinegar plus enough milk to make 1 cup.

THE BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch square baking dish or pan, then line with parchment paper if desired to make getting the brownies out easier.
• Mix flour and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
• Place chopped chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan with 1 inch of very gently simmering water. When the butter and almost all of the chocolate is melted, stir until smooth. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• Mix sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer until very airy, thick, and creamy, about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract, then slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate mixture, while mixing on high speed.
• Dump in the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the flour disappears. Use a spatula to transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread as evenly as possible.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out virtually clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to lightly press down the higher parts of the brownie around the edge of the dish. Let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes, before removing and cutting into 9 pieces.
