Because They're Burning Bricks

Posted By Sika on June 22, 2009

These are the absolutely best fudgey brownies on the face of the earth. If you like cakey brownies, these are not for you.
Preheat oven to 150°C or 300°F
Mix dry ingredients well:

1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup flour
¼ t salt
2 cups sugar (sometimes I use brown sugar to make it more caramel-y tasting. This is Malawi brown sugar, not American brown sugar)

Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add

2 eggs
1 T vanilla, and/or dash of cinnamon, OR 2 t almond essence, OR for Mexican-chocolate-style brownies, 1 t vanilla and a heavy dash of cinnamon
½ c melted butter or margarine cooled slightly and mixed in after the eggs are mixed in, so you don’t accidentally end up with chocolate scrambled eggs.

Mix all ingredients together. The batter will be extremely thick and difficult to stir. Add a small amount of

Milk, to thin

The batter will still be an extremely thick, mud-like consistency.

Bake for somewhere between 30-50 min, depending on how deliciously gooey you want ‘em.
