These nutty brownies are the best brownies there is! So soft and delicate, packed with chocolate and great texture from the walnuts. The original recipe belongs to the one and only Pierre Herme.
Start by lining a small square baking pan with baking paper.
Sift the flour and salt in a bowl.
Using an electric mixer, mix the butter for 2-4 minutes until creamy and light.
Replace the mixer with a spatula and stir in the melted chocolate. Mix just until incorporated.
Add the eggs, one by one, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the sugar and vanilla and give it a quick mix.
Fold in the sifted flour, mixing gently just until incorporated.
Add the walnuts as well.
Spoon the batter into your prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven at 350F - 180C for 20-25 minutes. Don't bake more than 25 minutes - the brownies have to look set, but still soft in the center.
Allow them to cool in the pan then cut into small squares and serve.
