Today to my excitement I found out that it was National Brownie day, the idea being that you make brownies and then give them to someone else!Fat chance! So here instead is a recipe for you to make your own brownies and demolish them all yourself, why share when you can scoff!
Ingredients:
100 grams dark chocolate
110 grams butter
225 grams sugar (sounds like a lot but you know you love your brownies chewy and gooey!)
100 grams walnuts (to be honest you don't actually need to use walnuts if you'd rather not, however I do feel that putting walnuts in makes for a chewier and tastier consistency)
2 large eggs, beaten
50g flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 180 c then chop both the walnuts and the chocolate into small pieces (try not to eat them all before you start baking). Next you need to melt the chocloate and the butter on a low heat (do you realise how gorgeous that smell is?) Mix the butter, chocolate and sugar in a massive bowl and add the beaten eggs into the mixture. Then get another bowl and mix the salt, the flour and the baking powder all together. Stir well so that the mixture is nice and smooth and then put the micture into a baking tray which you can quickly grease beforehand. Bake in the oven for about half an hour but it is a good idea to keep having a peek as you don't want the brownies to go too hard. They should be chewy and sticky in the middle and crispy on the outside. Leave for a few minutes and then cut and.... well you know the rest - dig in!
