0.5 teaspoon salt unsalted (use a scant teaspoon if using butter or butter sticks)
7 ml vanilla extract
Equipment
bowl
frying pan
oven
wire rack
aluminum foil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (176 C). Line an 8 inch square metal pan with foil and grease only the bottom. I like the method of greasing only the bottom of brownie pans because the brownies seem to stick to the sides and bake up more evenly rather than pull away. Hershey says to grease the whole pan.
Combine melted butter, sugar and vanilla in bowl.
Add eggs; beat well with spoon.
Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to egg mixture, beating gently until well mixed – don’t overbeat or the brownies won’t be as tender.
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until brownies appear set. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
