wednesday; what we baked

i dont know about you, but ive never been a huge fan of brownies.

which is weird.

because i love chocolate and i love baked goods, why not combined?

to me, brownies from a box have always been blah.

tasting of fake chocolate and syrupy sweet- and i dont like them warm!

so when i was thinking of something simple to make for when my in laws came over, i thought brownies would be good...

and i was right.

i stumbled upon some grey sea salt brownies, adjusted them (as usual) to what i had and to my taste and they were. so. good.

grey sea salt brownies

adapted from this recipe

1 1/2 sticks butter

4 oz dark baking chocolate  (i like ghiradelli)

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 tsp pure vanilla

3 eggs

1 cup unbleached flour

1/3 dark cocoa powder

1/4 tsp grey sea salt, 1/4 sea salt for sprinkling

preheat your oven to 350.

melt butter and chocolate together, setting aside to cool after melted.

in a stand up mixer with whisk attached add the chocolate/butter mixture to sugar and vanilla.

beat on low and add eggs, one a time until combined.

in a separate bowl, combine cocoa, flour and sea salt.

slowly add dry ingredients to chocolate batter.

the batter will be thick!

pour in to a butter non stick, or a parchment lined glass pan and bake for 22-24 minutes.

as soon as you remove from the over, lightly sprinkle the grey (or pink or maldon)

sea salt on top. 

allow to cool, cut and serve.

and you know what i like to serve it with! :)
