The Best Brownie Recipe Ever!

Hello beautiful people! As some of you may know last week was half term, and I spent some of it round one of my very good friends. Whilst I was round there, we made the most amazing brownies which I am going to share with you today!

     You will need :

• 175g (6oz) unsalted butter, chopped, plus extra to grease
• 150g (5oz) of your favorite chocolate (I used cadbury dairy milk caramel)
• 3 medium eggs
• 300g (11oz) caster sugar
• 75g (3oz) plain flour
• 40g (1½oz) cocoa powder (I used whittard's caramel hot chocolate)
• Icing sugar, to dust 

      Method

The first thing you'll want to do is melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl isn't touching the water. When the mixture is melted and cooled, set aside to cool for about 20 minutes.

Whilst the mixture is cooling, preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C / mark 4), and lightly grease a 20.5cm (8in) square tin with parchment. Using an electric whisk, beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until thick and creamy - roughly 5 minutes.

 

Add the melted and cooled chocolate mixture to the egg bowl and fold together with a metal spoon (I didn't read the recipe and used a wooden spoon, it doesn't really matter though). Sift over the flour and cocoa powder with a pinch of salt and continue to fold the mixture together.

Scrape the mixture into the tin you prepared earlier, making it level and bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. You'll know its done when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with icing sugar if you feel like it and cut into squares and enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed this recipe, I know me and my friend did :) I'll see you all next time!

Love, Emma x
