Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Brownies

Preheat your oven to 175°C and line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then remove from heat and whisk in the sugar until smooth.

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and whisk vigorously for 60 seconds until the texture becomes glossy.

Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined, ensuring no dry pockets of flour remain.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer using a spatula.

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

Sprinkle the surface with flaky sea salt immediately after removing the pan from the oven.

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing into squares.
