Instructions
1
- Grease an 8x8-inch metal baking tin with 2 tsp softened butter.
- Line the base and sides of the tin with parchment paper, pressing down to adhere. (NOTE: Leave a 2-inch overhang on the sides of the tin. This helps to easily remove brownies once cooled.)
2
- Add 8 tbsp butter to a small pot over medium heat and stir until completely melted, 1-2 min. Immediately whisk in cocoa powder, icing sugar and 1/2 tsp salt until smooth.
- Beat eggs, white sugar and espresso powder together in a large bowl using a whisk or electric mixer until thick, 2-3 min.
- Add cocoa mixture to egg mixture and beat until combined, 1 min.
- Sprinkle over 1/2 cup flour and stir until no floury streaks remain. (NOTE: Reserve remaining flour for a future creation.)
3
- Pour brownie batter into the prepared tin and smooth into an even layer. Bake in the middle of the oven until puffed and shiny on the surface, 20-25 min. (NOTE: Do not overbake; brownies taste best when slightly underdone. You can also place a wooden skewer into the centre, which should come out with a few crumbs attached when ready.)
- Place the tin on a wire rack and allow brownies to cool to room temp, 1 hr.
4
- Add 4 tbsp butter and brown sugar to a medium pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a simmer, 2-3 min. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until mixture is smooth and glossy, 1-2 min.
- Slowly, stir in cream 1 tbsp at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in 1/4 tsp salt. Continue to cook until thickened and slightly reduced, 2-3 min. Remove from the heat and transfer to a small bowl.
- Drizzle butterscotch sauce over top of brownies, then sprinkle pecans over top.
- Using a sharp knife, cut into equal squares and serve.
- Use any leftover butterscotch sauce for drizzling over ice cream or other baked goods!
