Brownies, anyone?

I am looking for a recipe for brownies. Can somebody give it to me, please?

6 oz. semisweet chocolate
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1/4 lb. butter (unsalted if you have it)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup sugar
pinch of salt (skip if butter is salted, or taste test)
1/2 cup flour

1. preheat oven to 350 degrees F. butter and flour an 8 inch square pan.
2. melt chocolate and add syrup, stirring well
3. take pan off heat and add butter, beat til smooth. Add vanilla and eggs and mix thoroughly
4. in a mixing bowl, sift the salt, sugar, and flour together, then add them all to the pan of chocolate stuff and blend thoroughly.
5. into the butter and floured baking pan with it and bake 30 min.
6. allow to cool, and then cut into small squares. (if you make them really small squares they last longer -- about 1 inch by 1 inch gives you 64 of them in this pattern!)

The recipe is from "the new basics cookbook"

Thank you!

The vanilla, do you mean "fresh" vanilla, vanilla sugar or vanilla flavour?

And I don't have a square baking pan, but I guess a round with a diameter of about 9 inches will do too :)

Vanilla extract. Probably what you mean by vanilla flavour. A liquid, anyway.

It's hard to cut squares out of a circle, but think of all the little lovely edges to nibble on! lol!

Thanks.

Yes, I meant a liquid.

And I never saw a square baking pan in the stores. We don't use them over here. But maybe I could find one at a specialized cook shop.

I just wanted to let you know I baked brownies, using your recipe, today. They are really good. My husband called them "heavenly".

Hooray! I wish I could taste them too. Maybe tomorrow, when it's not 90 degrees Fahrenheit...
