One of our favourite sweet treat is chocolate brownies. My kids go gaga for them!
Nowadays, I enlist the help of DJ Dan to make this. He really loves making them cos ..well, he gets to enjoy it once we're done. These chocolate brownies are the best ever - moist and fudgy with a slight crust on the outside and pops of saltiness from the Maldon salt flakes. YUM!
Best Chocolate Brownies
Preparation time: 15-20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Makes 16
Ingredients
110g butter
50g good-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
2 eggs, beaten
200g caster sugar
50g plain flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
30g chopped nuts - walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts
Extra chocolate chips, for topping (optional)
A few pinches of Maldon or sea salt
1. Preheat oven to 180°C (no fan).
2. Grease and line a baking tin measuring 8 x 8 inches with baking paper.
3. Place the butter and the chocolate together in a heatproof bowl and melt over the top of a saucepan filled with simmering water on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. A skewer inserted in the centre should come out cleanly (but do not overcook).
6. Leave the brownies to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before dividing into 16 squares and transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!
