Chocolate and Butter
- 8 oz (226 g) high quality white chocolate bars, chopped (Lindt or Ghirardelli bars)
- 3/4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter, chopped into small cubes
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups (250 g) granulated white sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups (219 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 3/4 tsp salt
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch pan and optionally line it with parchment paper for easier brownie removal.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: Using a double boiler over medium-low heat, melt the chopped white chocolate and cubed unsalted butter together. Stir continuously to ensure even melting and prevent scorching. Once smooth, remove from heat.
- Mix Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk the 2 whole eggs, 2 egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and smooth. For ease, use an electric mixer on high speed if available.
- Combine Chocolate Mixture: Pour the melted white chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Whisk thoroughly until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt using a rubber spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender.
- Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared 9×9 pan. Use a mini offset spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the surface evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 29 to 33 minutes. The brownies should be set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
- Cool and Slice: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, loosen the edges with a butter knife and invert onto a cutting board. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Lining the pan with parchment paper helps remove the brownies easily without breaking them.
- Check the brownies at 29 minutes to avoid overbaking; they should be slightly soft but not raw in the center.
- Allowing them to cool completely before cutting ensures clean slices.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
