  1. Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the over to 300°F. Prepare an 8-inch square aluminum baking pan.
  2. Sift dry goods together in food processor.
  3. In electric stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whip the eggs at medium speed until light in texture and color. Add vanilla.
  4. Mix the sugars together, reduce the mixer speed to 30-percent power, and add sugars to the eggs in 3 doses, incorporating thoroughly.
  5. Add butter and dry goods in 3 doses, starting with wet and finishing with dry.
  6. Fold in the nuts
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes. Check for donesness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean.
  8. Remove the pan to a cooling rack and resist the temptation to cut until the brownies are completely cool.

Tips for Success

Cooking Tips
Preparing the pan: Coat with a thin layer of Crisco (not butter) and flour lightly. Cut a piece of parchment paper to the width of the pan on one side, longer on the other. Place the parchment in the pan forming a sling for the brownies. Very easy to lift out of the pan and place on a cooling rack.
