No Flour Brownies

Keeping home does not necessarily mean one is a good cook. I guess I learned that the hard way this weekend! But first, the slightly altered recipe for no-flour brownies.

I looked for an online link to the classic Katherine Hepburn brownie recipe--guess what? It has flour! But the cookbook version I read had omitted the flour, as did I.

This was the only dessert with only crumbs remaining:

2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 stick sweet butter
1 cup sugar (or
Splenda, or 1/2 of each)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 chopped walnuts
(I added 1 cup for bulk)

Melt two squares of unsweet. chocolate and 1
stick of butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of sugar. Add
2 eggs along with vanilla; beat like mad. Stir in 1/2 cup walnuts chopped in
fairly good size pieces. Now mix all that up. Butter a square pan and dump the
whole thing quickly into the pan. Stuff this pan into a preheated 325 degree
oven for 40 minutes. Let it cool for awhile. Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares and
dive right in.

My notes: cool completely before slicing. You may even want to refrigerate first, as the center filling was a little soft. Baking on parchment or waxed paper liner would help with removal of the inner brownies. Still couldn't believe this didn't have flour!
