Step 1

Put the butter into the top of a double boiler over not quite simmering water. As the butter starts to melt, add the chocolate, spreading it around (do not add it in a pile). Let the chocolate sit for 5 to 10 minutes, until melted, then whisk to smooth. Remove the pan and set the chocolate aside to cool partially, about 10 minutes

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 9 inch square baking pan and dust it with flour, knocking out the excess. (Do not use a smaller pan: the brownies will be too thick)

Step 3

Combine the sugars and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat well for 2 minutes, until fluffy. Blend in the vanilla and cooled chocolate. Beat on medium low speed until evenly mixed. Sift the flour and salt into a medium bowl. Stir into the chocolate mixture, half at a time, until evenly blended. Stir in the nuts. Blend until there are no dry streaks in the batter.

Step 4

Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth with a spoon. Bake on the center oven rack for 35 minutes, When done, the brownies will have risen and have a think, brittle crust. Use toothpicks to check if the brownies are done : A toothpick inserted near the side should come out clean, and a toothpick inserted in the center should be a little gooey. Do not overbake. Thoroughly cool the brownies in the pan, on a rack. Refrigerate for serveral hours before slicing. Serve slightly cool or at room temperature.
