Directions: Melt chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl; stir to mix well; set aside. Beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in milk and vanilla. Stir in melted chocolate; fold in flour mixture. Beat egg whites until soft peaks; gently fold in 1/3 of the whites into the chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining whites and nuts. Spread in a greased 9" square pan. Bake at 350* for 25 - 30 minutes or until dry and firm on top and toothpick comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Spread chocolate glaze over top and sprinkle with a few chopped nuts. Chocolate glaze: Melt together the chocolate, boiling water, coffee powder and brandy over very low heat or top of double boiler, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and blend thoroughly. Cool until glaze reaches a good spreading consistency; do not allow to become too firm. You can omit the glaze and dust the brownies with conf. sugar. |
