Brownies 

1 pound of unsalted butter

1/2 pound unsweetened chocolate

4 cups sugar

3 cups flour

8 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

Melt the butter and the chocolate in a pan, but be careful not to scorch.

Add the mixture to the sugar, all by hand. Add 2 cups flour, mix.

Add four eggs. Mix. Add the remaining cup of flour and mix well.

Add the remaining four eggs and the 2 teaspoons of vanilla.

Mix well by hand until well incorporated. Pour into a greased 11-by-17-inch pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Check often; do not overcook, so they don’t get too cakey.
