We seem to enjoy these brownies far more than many other treats, mostly because they are so simple to make. All you need is a pot for the stove and a baking pan and you are good to go. We share them with friends often, sending a tray over the barn for the gals working or a tray to the boys at the field when airsoft is in season. We always make extra so we have some left at home by making a double batch. Making a double batch is very easy, just double the brownie ingredients and use a 9×13 cake pan.

The secret to the gooeyness, which is the essence of the Farmhouse Brownie, is that you must stir the eggs, sugar and vanilla into the melted butter and chocolate very well. If you don’t, the brownies turn out tasty, but more dense and not as gooey. You know it is just right, when the batter has an elastic consistency and wipes clean from the side of the saucepan. Once this happens you are ready for the flour.


 

Farmhouse Brownies

40 mins
24 servings
Ingredients:
1/2 c butter
2oz unsweetened chocolate
1c sugar
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla
3/4c flour

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8x8inch baking pan and set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over low heat. Allow to cool a little, you don’t want it too hot when you add the eggs.

Add vanilla, sugar and eggs. Stir until well combined.

Add flour and mix well.

Pour batter into greased pan. Bake at 325F for 30 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.


 

We cut these into about 1″ squares to make them bite-sized, not that you can’t make them bigger, but this way you are enjoying just a bite and they tend to last longer. You can ice these with your favorite chocolate icing, however, we prefer them plain. Serve with a glass of milk, vanilla ice cream or all on their own.

Which ever way you decide to enjoy them, just make sure you include a friend or two to share with.
