Brownies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease and line a deep rectangular baking tray.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Once fully melted, add the chocolate and remove from the heat. Allow to sit for a moment

or two before stirring.

Step 3

Only return to a low heat if the chocolate is not fully melted. Add the sugars, flour and salt. Mix well. As long as it is no longer hot to touch, add the eggs and again mix well. Pour into the tin and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top has cracked slightly and it is only just set.

Step 4

Allow to cool then place in the fridge overnight, or for at least 4 hours. Once fully chilled, slice into squares. Top with a dollop of creme fraiche, some fresh berries and, if you fancy it, some chocolate or caramel sauce.

Top Tip:

I understand it is a particularly cruel thing for me to do – making you fridge set the brownies. Waiting more than 4 hours is never fun, I know, but I guarantee the results will be infinitely better. What you will end up with is a dark and dense fudgy brownie that will rival any you’ve had before – you just need to be patient. 

Enjoy!
