CAST IRON SKILLET BROWNIES

Ingredients

·         1 cup sugar

·         3 large eggs

·         1 cup all-purpose flour 

·         1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder 

·         1/2 teaspoon salt

·         4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

·         1/4 cup heavy cream

·         8 ounces chocolate chips or coarsely chopped chocolate

Directions

1.     Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt.

2.     In a medium cast iron skillet, bring butter and cream to a simmer over medium heat. Add chocolate; reduce to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly, until chocolate has melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and let cool 5 minutes.

3.     Add chocolate mixture to sugar mixture, whisking until blended (reserve skillet). Fold in flour mixture. Pour batter into skillet.

4.     Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. (for a gooeyer brownie bake for about 35 minutes)

 Serve from skillet, warm or at room temperature.


For an even more decadent treat, serve with ice cream & strawberries!

Note

I personally would use high quality dark chocolate (120 ounces) instead of chocolate powder. I'm a chocoholic.
