Description
Brownies are squidgy, nutty chocolate bars, they are not cakes and therefore do not have the texture of a cake
Method
-
1
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350F (180C).
-
2
Melt the butter and the chocolate (broken up into small pieces) together in the top of a double saucepan (or else place in a basin fitted over simmering water on a very low heat).
-
3
Away from the heat, stir all the other ingredients into the butter and chocolate mixture thoroughly.
-
4
Spread all this in the lined tin.
-
5
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the mixture shows signs of shrinking away from the sides of the tin, and the centre feels springy.
-
6
A knife inserted in the centre should come out cleanly (but don't overcook - it will firm up as it cools).
-
7
Leave the mixture in the tin to cool for 10 minutes.
-
8
Divide into approximately 15 squares.
-
9
Transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
