This recipe is practically identical to my own, which uses a tad bit more flour and a wee bit more salt. These brownies should be made a good day prior to consumption since the butter needs time to coagulate again. I've made my fudgy brownies almost once a week for the pat 2 years and they are my signature card. Try these brownies and allow to cool overnight at room temperature. Amazing!!!
