My go-to brownie recipe is Katherine Hepburns. It REALLY is her recipe. I still can't figure out why sometimes it has a shiny crust and sometimes not. It is rich and fudgy and I personally like it chilled. It's so easy,I know it by heart: Preheat oven to 325. Melt 2 squares unsweetened chocolate and 1/4 lb butter over low heat in heavy saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in 1 c. granulated sugar. Beat in 2 eggs and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Quickly stir in 1 c. chopped walnuts and 1/4 c. flour and 1/4 tsp. salt. Spread in well greased 8"X 8" baking pan and bake for 40-45 minutes. Cool. I use the microwave to melt the chocolate and butter. It's been a while since I've baked,I tend to finish the entire batch in a day or two!!
