ELT Maker Night Brownies

After the 1st ELT Maker Night on Tuesday a few people were saying they liked these and I said I'd post the recipe (only 6 ingredients).

ELT MAKER NIGHT BROWNIES 

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 squares chocolate, melted (6 tablespoons cocoa & 1 tablespoon butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup flour

Cream butter and sugar.  Add beaten eggs and vanilla.  Add sifted flour and chocolate.   If you like nuts or other stuff, put them in. Bake in greased 8" x 8" pan @ 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Advice:
  1. Convert all non-metrics to metrics using... mathematics.
  2. Butter firmness is an issue, I hope someone has a way to measure this in the future Randall Munroe I may need to call on you.
  3. Get a glass baking pan. The size does matter because the stuff should stack up about 2 cms or 3/4 inch at least.
  4. They don't pop out well. So bring them in the glass pan. I wrapped mine in a clean tea towel and then stuck it in a puzzle box. You might bring a knife or spatula.
  5. If you like them chewy, keep them covered as they cool- and let them cool. That's going to be like... an hour... at least.
