Five Secrets to Baking the Perfect Brownies
I have been a chocolate lover for years! In fact, my original business plan was centered around opening a tearoom where all we would serve was flourless chocolate cake and iced tea! Probably not the best plan, so it never happened!

If you don’t have thyme to visit the blog post about the 5 secrets to baking the perfect brownie, I am sharing the recipe for Brownie pizza below.
Fudgy Brownie Pizza
Equipment
- medium sauce pan
- mixing bowl
- electric mixer
- 9 " round baking pan
- spatula
- parchment paper
- knife to cut brownies after they have cooled
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 2 1 ounce squares unsweetened chocolate
- 3/4 cup sifted all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- In a mediium saucepan, melt the butter & chocolate over low heat.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 30 minutes
- Pour melted butter/chocolate mixture into mixing bowl
- Beat in sugar
- Blend in eggs one at a time, beat until ribbon stage is reached. *
- Add Vanilla
- Stir in flour and mix well
- Spread batter in a greased 9 " round baking pan.
- If desired, the baking pan can be lined with parchment paper to make it easier to remove brownies when they are done baking.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
- Caution: do not overbake!
- Remove from oven and allow to cool
- After brownies have cooled for at least 1 hour, cut into 8 slices
Optional Brownie Pizza Toppings
- a simple glaze can be made from powdered sugar (1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tsp vanilla and 2 - 4 tablespoons of milk blended together)
- powdered sugar can be sifted over the top of the brownie
- raspberry sauce from the grocery store can be drizzled over the top of the brownie pizza
- for even more chocolate flavor, chocolate sauce can also be drizzled over the brownie pizza
Notes
- Ribbon Stage is met when the chocolate/egg/sugar mixture drips off the beaters in "ribbons".
- an 8 x 8 square pan can be substituted for the 9 " round pan if you prefer a square brownie
- small pieces of fresh mint can be used to decorate the slices of brownie

Look how young I am in this photo! The local paper ran an article about me. The title of the article was “She’s Banking on Herbs”. At the thyme, I was working in a bank full time and pursuing my herb business on the weekends.
