Brownies--A Recipe Sure to Garner Thanks

This is my all-time favorite brownie recipe. It's easy and will earn you many a compliment.
Brownie Recipe
(Based on the Recipe from The Fannie Farmer Baking Book)
Ingredients:
4 ounces (4 squares) unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
½ cup salted butter (1 stick), chopped into pats
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup flour
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan. DO NOT USE A RECTANGULAR PAN! Place the butter and chocolate in a sauce pan and melt over low heat. Stir frequently. Once the butter and chocolate are melted and combined, take the sauce pan off of the heat and set aside for a few minutes to cool. Once cool, add vanilla, sugar, salt, and eggs. Stir until combined and glossy. Add flour to the chocolate mixture in sauce pan and stir until incorporated. The batter should be thick. Spread batter evenly in square pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out BARELY CLEAN. If the toothpick is totally clean, you’ve over-baked the brownies. Cool, then cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
