Richard’s Skillet Brownie
Makes 4-6 servings

INGREDIENTS
Brownies
9 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, diced, plus more for greasing
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cups light brown sugar
4 large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup pecans, optional

Caramel
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Ice cream, for serving

PROCEDURE
1. Make the brownies: Preheat your oven to 350℉.

2. Fill a small pot with 1-inch of water and place over medium heat. Once simmering, place a heat proof bowl on top of the pot and add the chocolate, butter and sugars. Let the mixture melt and then whisk until smooth.

3. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the eggs and vanilla.

4. Sift in the flour and add the salt and mix to combine.

5. Grease the bottom of a large cast-iron skillet with softened butter. Pour the batter into the pan and sprinkle the pecans, if using, evenly across the top.

6. Bake the brownies until they are set in the center, about 30 minutes.

7. Make the caramel: In a small skillet over medium heat, add the sugar. Let the sugar melt, carefully tilting the pan to make sure it is evenly distributed. Once the melted sugar begins to turn a light amber color, carefully add the butter and whisk until smooth.

8. Drizzle the caramel over the brownies and serve with your favorite ice cream.
