I am terrible at following recipes "precisely" and tend to experiment as I go along

Brownies are very American so I am not used to making them and would love some nice moist chewy recipes!
Here's a good recipe - from my old copy of the Fanny Farmer cookbook. The new one has a different brownie recipe which is not, in my opinion, nearly as good. I often throw chocolate chips or mini marshmallows into them, as I cannot have nuts, so go ahead and add whatever extra goodness you want! No fancy equipment needed, not even a mixer - a big spoon will do fine! They're yummy plain, anyway.

Brownies********

3 oz baking chocolate

6 tbs. butter

1 1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt

3/4 cup flour

3/4 cup chopped walnuts (or whatever else you want to add!)

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

******
350°

butter the inside of a 9 inch square pan (or equivalent)

Melt the chocolate and butter together in a big bowl.

Stir in sugar, eggs, salt, flour, nuts and vanilla

Combine well. Spread into the pan somewhat evenly - no need to be too picky or perfect.

bake for 40 minutes.

Let cool at least a few minutes before cutting.
