Skillet. Brownies.

Sooooo... can I put in a little plug here for Everyday Food by Martha Stewart? Everything in there is super easy and delish. This month she has a recipe for skillet brownies and, mercy, are they good. Here ya go:

• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder (spooned and leveled)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
• ***i couldn't find dutch process cocoa powder, so i used Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa Powder and added 1/8 tsp. baking soda. worked great for me. the dark chocolate made it particularly rich. i'd definitely have it with some vanilla ice cream or milk.
  
• i also added pecans. yum.
  

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 ovenproof nonstick skillet, bring butter and cream to a simmer over medium. 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. Serve from skillet, warm or at room temperature.triple threat... cream, butter, and Nanny's skillet.david and his nostril give the melting chocolate a thumbs up.

that knife is so excited about cutting into those brownies...
