Ultimate Brownies

I happened across this recipe online and it just makes the best brownies! It's so easy to do! The trick is to allow the eggs & sugar to beat for an extended period of time - a stand mixer makes this much easier to do. The brownies come out dense and cakey, with a perfect taste.

Ultimate Brownies

Ingredients
2 sticks of butter
8 oz. unsweetened chocolate squares
5 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted (optional)

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 pan.

Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat; seat aside. In a mixer, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for 10 minutes. Blend in chocolate mixture, flour and salt until just mixed. Hand-stir in the nuts. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes. (Don't overbake.) Let cool completely before cutting.
