I wish I had a pound for every time I have made brownies in my life and for every new brownie recipe I have tried! I’d be a rich woman! This is my old standard that I return to every time. Moist and delicious with full on chocolate flavour, these are everything a good brownie should be! You can leave the nuts out if you wish. If you want you can add chocolate chips instead. They then become double chocolate fudge brownies! Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter |
1 cup plain flour |
4 ounces semisweet chocolate (good quality) |
4 large eggs |
2 cups sugar |
1 tablespoon vanilla essence |
1 pinch salt |
1/2 cup walnut halves, broken into pieces |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180*C/350*F.
2. Grease and flour the bottom of an 8 inch square glass baking dish; tap out any extra flour.
3. Melt the butter along with the chocolate over low heat in a large pot.
4. Allow to cool, then stir in the sugar, eggs (one at a time) vanilla, flour and salt, mixing with a wooden spoon and being careful not to over mix, no more than 50 strokes!
5. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan.
6. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out a little wet if you want fudgy brownies.
7. Bake until it comes out cleaner if you want cake type brownies, about 40 to 45 minutes for the fudgy ones.
8. Let cool a bit before cutting into squares.
