Brownies

Brownies are by far my favourites. Anytime is "Brownie- time!"  I have been trying out various recipes for brownies, but I find this recipe to be really chewy and gooey!

Brownies

Ingredients

375 gm soft  butter

375 gm dark chocolate

6 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

500 gm caster sugar

225 gm plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped walnuts  Method  Preheat the oven to 180°C.  Take a pan of approximately 33 x 23 x 5 1/2cm and line it with foil or butter paper.  In a large heavy based saucepan melt the butter and chocolate together.  Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla in a separate pan.  Measure and sieve the flour into another bowl and add the salt.  When the chocolate mixture has melted, let it cool a bit then add the eggs and sugar mixture, and then the nuts and flour.  Beat to combine and using a spatula scrape out the mixture from the saucepan into the lined brownie pan.  Bake for about 25 minutes.  When done, the top should be dried, but the middle should be dark and dense and gooey.  Brownies normally continue to cook a bit as they cool, so by the time you get to eat them, they should be completely done!
