Chocolate Brownies

Welcome to John's second choice for his birthday goodies, Gooey chocolate brownies. 

I have not made these before but they have turned out to be a really gooey yummy brownie. I used 72% coco chocolate and we both found it to be a touch on the bitter side.

Ingredients

188g of good quality dark chocolate 

250g of caster sugar

188g of butter

122g of plain flour
3 eggs

A pinch of salt

A dash of vanilla essence

Method

•    Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and butter it. I buttered the tray too to make sure that the paper says in place

• Break up the chocolate and cut the butter into small chunks, then melt both together.

•  In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs with the sugar and add the vanilla essence and salt. 

•   Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir again.

• Finally, stir in the flour.

• Poor the mixture into the tray and spread to the corners.

•    Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes on 180ºC until the top has gone golden brown, but the centre is still gooey.

• The brownies will solidify over time, to re-moisten, microwave for a few seconds and sprinkle over some icing sugar to serve
