Brownies!!! Yum, yum

I have the urge to cook a big, big batch of brownies today.  But I'm at work & it has been so hot of late that I dread turning on the oven.

So here is my famous (with friends) brownie recipe.

200 grams Butter
200 grams Dark chocolate
1 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Plain flour
3 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
Hand full of Walnuts/pistachios (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees.  Line rectangular tray with baking paper.  

In a saucepan place butter (chopped into cubes) with the chocolate (broken up).  Melt over a low heat, stirring continuously.  Once all melted let cool in saucepan.

Break eggs into bowl and beat with electric beater.  Slowly pour in sugar till all combined.  Add vanilla essence.

Pour eggs into saucepan with chocolate sauce and mix.  This will be very runny.  Add flour & nuts.

Pour into tray and place in oven.  After 10 minutes rotate tray.  Brownies should be cooked between 23-30 minutes.  The key to these brownies is to remove them from the oven when they are slightly undercooked.  The top will look cracked and broken but a skewer will leave moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Let stand for a further 10 minutes in tray.

For extra evilness try with Betty Crocker pre made Chocolate icing.
