Ingredients
- 375 g soft unsalted butter
- 375 g good quality dark chocolate I usually use Valrohna but this time it was green & blacks
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 500 g caster sugar
- 225 g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 300 g chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
-
Prepare a tin measuring 33 x 23 x 5.5 cm and line with foil
-
Preheat oven to 180C/gas mark 4.
-
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a large heavy-based pan. Don't overheat or the chocolate can become grainy.
-
When the chocolate and butter has melted take off the heat and let cool a while.
-
Meanwhile beat the eggs and sugar in the mixer or by hand.
-
Measure out your flour, add the salt and set aside.
-
Once your chocolate mixture has cooled, pour it into the beaten eggs, sugar and vanilla extract mix. Beat again until well combined.
-
Sift in the flour, if using, and beat until combined.
-
If you are adding nuts then do so now.
-
Scrape out into your prepared tin and bake for about 25-30 minutes. When cooked the top should have a dry, pale crust, but the middle should still be nice and gooey. Bake for longer or less depending on desired gooeyness desired.
-
Remember that brownies will carry on cooking once removed from the oven. I always take mine out when an inserted skewer comes out a little sticky.
