Chocolate & Butter Mixture
- 8 oz (226 g) high quality white chocolate bars, chopped (Lindt or Ghirardelli bars)
- 3/4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter, chopped into small cubes
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups (250 g) granulated white sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups (219 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 3/4 tsp salt
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies after baking.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: Using a double boiler over medium-low heat, melt the chopped white chocolate and cubed butter together. Stir continuously to ensure even melting and a smooth mixture, then remove from heat.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes pale and smooth. You can use a hand mixer on high speed to simplify this step.
- Combine Chocolate Mixture: Pour the melted white chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- Pour and Smooth Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a mini offset spatula to evenly spread and smooth out the top of the batter.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 29-33 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cooled, use a butter knife to loosen the edges from the pan. Invert the pan to release the brownies, then cut into 16 squares and serve.
Notes
- Using high-quality white chocolate like Lindt or Ghirardelli ensures the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter once flour is added to maintain a tender crumb.
- Lining the baking pan with parchment paper makes removing the brownies easier and cleaner.
- These brownies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle chopped nuts or white chocolate chips on top before baking.
