This brownie recipe gets invited to all the parties and houses, from Liverpool to Manchester to Coventry. It's travelled, and it's known. Suppose you want a gooey brownie but not a messy one. This is your recipe. This is from my childhood baking booking; my mum and I never go empty-handed with these. I once was told, “Oh, these brownies are the ones from last time. They were delicious”, by my brother's housemates. I hope you become your circle's brownie god/goddess with this recipe, as I have done. I never included the pecans; I broke up some white chocolate instead.
Ingredients
- 90g (3oz) plain chocolate
- 150g (5 oz) Unsalted butter + extra for greasing
- 125g (oz) plain flour
- 15g (/oz) cocoa powder
- ½ tsp of baking powder
- 1tsp of Vanilla extract
- One pinch of salt
- 300g (10oz) soft light brown sugar
- Two eggs
- 100g (3/oz) chopped pecan nuts (optional)
brown sugar
Equipment
• baking tin (20×15 cm or 8x6in)
- scissors
- baking parchment
- Three medium bowls
- sieve
- small saucepan
- rubber spoon spatula
- palette knife
- Wooden spoon
- oven
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (350 F/Gas4). Grease and line the base of the baking tin with non-stick baking parchment paper.
2. Break the chocolate into a bowl and add the butter. Melt the butter and chocolate over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally. Or do what I do and put it in the microwave, and every 20-30 seconds, take it out and give it a mix.
3. Once melted, allow the chocolate to cool slightly. Then, sieve the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a large separate bowl.
4. in a third bowl, beat the eggs and add the sugar and vanilla extract. Stir the ingredeints together until they are just conbined.
5. fold the melted chocolate into the beaten egg mixture. Then fold in the flour mixture and any additional treats, like my white chocolate pieces, and mix until there is no visible flour.
6. Spoon the mixture into the tin and smooth the top with a spatula, palette knife, or even the back of a spoon. Bake for 25 minutes. Remember to give it time to cool before cutting, or you will have gooey, sticky hands. Then enjoy. I love to warm mine up a bit, add some ice cream, and either strawberries or raspberries to the top for a balanced diet, of course—basically making it healthy.
