     BROWNIES-2 - Serious chocolate brownies

     This is an adaptation of the "Scrumptious Brownies" recipe
     found on a box of Baker's unsweetened chocolate.  I've
     reduced the amounts of sugar and flour from the original,
     which I find makes for a very fudgey brownie.

INGREDIENTS (32 brownies)
     8 oz      unsweetened chocolate (8 squares)
     1/2 lb    butter
     5         eggs
     2 1/2 cups
               sugar
     1 Tbsp    vanilla extract
     1 1/2 cups
               flour
     2 cups    coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Grease a 13x9 inch pan and pre-heat oven to 375
               deg. F.

          (2)  Melt the chocolate and the butter in the top of a
               double boiler over simmering water. Whisk until
               smooth.  Set aside to cool while beating eggs.

          (3)  Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for
               a full 10 minutes.

          (4)  Blend in the chocolate-and-butter mixture at low
               speed.

          (5)  Add flour, beating just to blend. Stir in walnuts,
               if desired.

          (6)  Bake 30 to 35 minutes.  Do not overbake.  The
               brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into
               the center comes out slightly dirty.

          (7)  Cool in pan, then cut into squares.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy to moderate.  Time: 30 minutes preparation,
     1 hour cooking and cooling.  Precision: measure the
     ingredients.
