\recipe[Made this for Alissa's 28th birthday and they were delicious!]{Fudgy Brownies}[From America's Test Kitchen Cooking for Two, page 388. Uses a loaf pan and yields 8 brownies. Loaf pan dimensions are \cunum{8_1/2}{in} by \cunum{4_1/2}{in}; if you use a \cunum{9}{in} by \cunum{5}{in} loaf pan, start checking for doneness 5 minutes earlier than advised in the recipe.\\Be careful not to overbake these brownies or they will have a very dry, cakey texture.]
\serves{2}
\preptime{45 minutes}
\cooktime{30 minutes}
\dishtype{\dessert}
\begin{step}
Aluminum Foil
\cunum{8_1/2}{in} by \cunum{4_1/2}{in} Loaf pan
Mold release/Butter/Pam spray
\method
Make foil sling for loaf pan by folding 2 long sheets of aluminum foil; first sheet should be \cunum{8_1/2}{in} wide and second sheet should be \cunum{4_1/2}{in} wide. Lay sheets of foil in pan perpendicular to each other, \textbf{with extra foil hanging over sides of pan}, smoothing foil flush to pan. Grease foil.
\end{step}
\begin{step}
\cutext{3.5}{oz} / \cunum[oz=g]{3.5}{oz} Semisweet chocolate, chopped (chocolate chips work too)
1 stick/\cutext{4}{EL} unsalted butter, cut into pieces
\cutext{1}{EL} unsweetened cocoa powder
\method
Microwave in a bowl at 50\% power (melt function @ \cunum{8}{oz} also works), stirring occasionally until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
\end{step}
\begin{step}
\cutext{1/2}{cup} \plus \cutext{2}{EL} (\cunum{4_1/2}{oz} / \cunum[oz=g]{4.5}{oz}) Sugar
1 large egg \plus 1 large egg yolk
\cutext{1}{TL} Vanilla Extract
\cutext{1/4}{TL} Salt
\cutext{1/2}{cup} (\cunum{2_1/2}{oz} / \cunum[oz=g]{2.5}{oz}) All-purpose flour
\method
Whisk in medium bowl until combined. Whisk in chocolate mixture until combined. Stir in flour with rubber spatula until just combined.
Transfer batter to prepared pan; spread batter into corners of pan and make the surface smooth.
Bake until toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 24 -- 30 minutes, rotating half way through baking.
Let brownies cool completely in pan on wire rack. Remove brownies from pan using foil sling, loosening sides with knife if needed.
Cut brownies into 2-inch squares and serve. (Brownies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.)
\end{step}
