How to make Chewy Chocolatey Brownies Recipe.



Today, I am going to be walking you through how to create these delicious chocolate brownies. They are so quick and easy to make and you can fill them with a variety of milk, white and dark chocolate and you can make them as decadent as you choose.


Ingredients
- 125g unsalted butter (though I found any baking butter will do)

- 125g dark chocolate chopped. (I tend to add a little bit more for that decadent richness)

-3 eggs, lightly whisked
-250g of Caster sugar (feel free to vary this depending on how sweet you like to have it)
-115g Sifted Plain flour
- 30g Cocoa Powder
- Pinch of Salt
-Chocolate Chips (optional)

(Whilst there are some ingredients that you can vary, try to stick to the measurements as best as possible as deviation from them may lead to a change in the consistency of the brownies and ultimately failure in the pursuit of delicious brownie perfection.) 

Steps to a delicious brownie
1. Set the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Fill a pan with water and start to boil the water. Next take the chopped up chocolate and the cut up butter, put them in a bowl on top of the water ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Stir periodically and eventually it should be a smooth blend of the two.


 It's best to use a metal or stainless steel pan for this as it works quicker in melting the mixture as opposed to plastic. 

2. Once completely melted, add in the other ingredients, the flour, sugar, egg, cocoa powder, salt and mix altogether.

3. Once you have a thoroughly mixed mixture, add in your chocolate chips, for this recipe, I used broken pieces of dark chocolate bars. (The expensive kind) to give it a richer taste.

4. Grease a tin of the appropriate size with butter/ or grease-proof paper. Pour the mixture into the pan, using your wooden spoon to smooth it over at the top.
Do not lay the mixture too thickly as it will rise and you could end up with a brownie piece that's too thick.
It would be best to have it at about 3-4 cm from the bottom of the pan.

5. Put the mixture in the oven and leave for about 30 minutes-45 minutes, checking on it regularly. It does not take long to cook, and if you put a fork into the brownie, it should come up with crumbs clinging to it. (The fork does not need to come up clean.)

Set aside for a while to cool and enjoy your brownies.
