Brownies

This recipe can also be used with the earlier post The Best Brownies You’ll Ever Eat. You can also use white chocolate chips when you make these for a good variation.

Time: 45 minutes

Serves: 8-12

Difficulty: 4

Ingredients:

6 ounces dark chocolate	3 large eggs
1 ½ sticks (¾ cup) butter	1 cup (-ish) all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups golden superfine sugar	2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt	½ cup chocolate chips

Supplies:

8-inch square cake pan	Measuring cups and spoons
Non-stick baking parchment	Small bowl
Scissors	Fork
Heatproof bowl	Sifter
Pan	Flexible spatula
Wooden spoon	Knife

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease the cake pan and line it with baking parchment.

Place the chocolate and butter in a bowl. Melt over a pan of simmering water and stir with the wooden spoon until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.

Add the sugar and salt to the melted chocolate. Beat the eggs in a bowl and add them gradually to the mixture. Sift the flour into the batter and beat until smooth, then combine with vanilla and chocolate chips.

Scrape the mixture into the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes so that the top is pale brown and the middle is soft. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before cutting. When cool, carefully cut into equal pieces and store in the refrigerator.
