With time to spare on a Saturday and not having baked for a while, I thought what better way to spend my morning than whipping up some chocolate fudge brownies and filling the house with a delicious chocolate smell.
The other reason I couldn’t wait to make these brownies was I got a new mixing bowl! I’ve hunted for ages for one I liked and then saw this beauty.
Ingredients
- 200g butter, chopped plus extra for greasing
- 200g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 250g caster sugar
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 125g plain flour
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/ gas 4. Grease a shallow 23cm/9in square tin with butter and line the base with baking paper, leaving some hanging over the edges to make removing the brownies easier.
2. In a medium sized saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate over a low heat, until the chocolate has just melted. Be careful not to burn it! Stir it constantly with a wooden spoon, then remove from the heat.
3. Add the sugar, mix well and then leave to cool to room temperature.
4.In a large bowl, gradually mix the eggs into the chocolate mixture, with the vanilla essence, then fold in the flour and salt, using a melt spoon.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin.
