ENGLISH DEPARTMENT: Cooking 4 Fun: Best-Ever Brownies

Easy recipe for chocolate brownies.

Ingredients

· 185g unsalted butter

· 185g best dark chocolate

· 85g plain flour

· 40g cocoa powder

· 50g white chocolate

· 50g milk chocolate

· 3 large eggs

· 275g caster sugar

Method

1. Cut 185g unsalted butter into cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g best dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl. Melt the butter and chocolate. Leave to cool to room temperature.

2. Turn the oven on to 180C. Using a 20cm square tin, cut out a square of non-stick baking parchment to line the base. Now tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl, and tap and shake the sieve to get rid of any lumps.

3. Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks.

4. Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g caster sugar. With an electric mixer, whisk the eggs and sugar until they look thick and creamy.

5. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then fold together with a rubber spatula.

6. Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly. Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they’re dotted throughout.
