Chocolate Brownies
Prep: 25 minutes Bake Time: 30 mins approx Temp: 180C/ Gas 4
Perfect recipe for a gooey chocolate Brownie
1. Grease a baking tray and preheat the oven to 180c/ Gas 4, a tray that is 23cm and 4cm deep is usually best for brownies.
2. Melt the chocolate slowly on a low heat and add the butter and melt together, when all is finally melted then take it off the heat to cool.
3. In a seperate bowl whisk the eggs, gradually adding the sugar as you whisk, whisk the egg and sugar until it is pale and has doubled in size, roughly whisk for about 3-5 minutes.
5. When whisked and the chocolate mixture has cooled (you need to make sure it really has cooled otherwise if it is too warm it will turn your egg mixture into scrambled egg!) add the chocolate mix to the eggs and sugar and carefully fold together until all is combined.
6. Sieve the flour and cocoa and add it to the mix and carefully fold it all together.
7. Place on the middle shelf in the oven and bake for about 25- 30 minutes, they will be ready when they have risen and have a light crust looking layer on the top, remove them from the oven and leave them in the tin to cool, then when cooled, cut into squares and enjoy!
