Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
- ¾ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder natural or Dutch okay
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons water
- 2 large eggs cold
- ⅓ cup plus a tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch square metal pan with foil or parchment paper. If using foil, spray it with cooking spray.
- In a saucepan, heat the butter over medium until it starts to melt, stirring often. Continue heating the butter, keeping an eye on it and swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter just starts to turn brown.
- Remove saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the sugar and cocoa powder. Stir until smooth, then stir in the salt, water and vanilla extract. Let cool for 5 minutes. Add one of the eggs and whisk or stir until blended, then add the second egg.
- Add the ⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon of flour and stir until blended, then add your walnuts.
- Transfer to the pan. Sprinkle chips (and more walnuts) over the top if desired.
- Bake brownies at 350 F. for 25 minutes or until they are fragrant and appear set. Let cool completely before cutting.
