- ½ cup unsalted butter. melted
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1⅛ cup superfine sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Lightly grease an 8" square pan and then line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine melted butter, oil, and sugar together in a medium bowl and whisk for about a minute. This will give the brownies a nice crust.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk for another minute.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring just until the ingredients are combined. Do not over beat or you will end up with cake brownies.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. If you test for doneness with a toothpick the pick will come out with thick fudge crumbs. The brownies will continue to bake while in the pan cooling.
