  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         Bittersweet chocolate -- finely chopped
   1      cup           Unsalted butter -- cut into
     1/3  cup           Strong brewed coffee
   4      large         Eggs -- at room temp
   1-1/2  cups          Sugar
     1/2  cup           Flour
   8      ounces        Walnuts -- chopped

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 . Line a
9x13" baking pan with a doule thickness of aluminum foil so that the
line foil extends 2" beyond the sides of the pan. Butter the bottom
and sides of the foil-lined pan. In the top of a double boiler set
over hot, not simmering water, melt the chocolate, butter and
dissolved coffee, stirring frequently, until smooth. Cool the
mixture, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, using
a handheld electric mixer set at high speed, beat the eggs for 30
seconds, or until foamy.

Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat for 2 minutes, or until
the mixture is very light and fluffy. Reduce the mixer speed to low
and gradually beat in the chocolate mixture until just blended.

Using a wooden spoon, stir in the flour. Stir in the walnuts. Do not
overbeat the mixture. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake
for 28-30 minutes, or until the foggies are just set around the
edges. They will remain moist in the center. Cool the foggies in the
pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with
aluminum foil and refrigerate overnlight or for at least 6 hours.
Remove the top foil and run a sharp knife around the edge of the
foggies. Using two ends of the foil as handles, lift the foggies onto
a large plate and peel off the foil. Invert them again onto a smooth
surface and cut into 16 rectangles.

Makes 16 foggies.
