Beat the eggs and sugar thoroughly to fold in air. The more air, the smoother the brownies will turn out. Add the vanilla during this step.
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a double boiler or a ceramic bowl suspended in a pot of hot water.
When your eggs are nice and fluffy, add the flour and the melted chocolate.

1 Cup of Butter
8 oz of Baker’s Chocolate
