My sister got me hooked on this recipe December of 1999. It's really great tasting, but I've had some problems keeping it from falling. If you have any ideas about how to prevent that, please write.

Notes for 3/4 recipee (added 12/04/07 Yeah!):
I used a little less of the semi-sweet and a little more of the unsweetened chocolate and sugar than the calculated proportions to make them come out even.
Partial cure for falling brownies
Try whipping the egg whites separately. You may need to add a tablespoon or two of water to the egg yellows to get the sugar to dissolve.
Fold the warm chocolate mixture into the egg yellows and sugar mixture, fold in the beaten egg whites and then the flour (I now use 1 cup).
Use 325 degree oven and cook for almost an hour, until not quite burnt.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Over a double boiler of hot but not boiling water, melt chocolates and butter. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, vanilla, and sugar until smooth. Add to chocolate mixture.

Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together and fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour brownie mixture into a greased 11 by 17 inch baking pan (or fill a 6 x 9¾" and a 8½ x 12½ to the same level). Bake 25 to 30 minutes. (For smaller pan, use lower temperature and bake longer. I'm still working on the baking part. I suspect that too much air in the egg mixture caused the brownies to fall during and/or after baking.) Allow brownies to cool thoroughly in pan before slicing into squares. Makes about three to four dozen brownies, depending on how they are cut.
