Brownies

A twist on Nigella’s brownies from How to be a Domestic Goddess.

• 190g unsalted butter
• 190g good quality dark chocolate
• 3 large eggs
• teaspoon vanilla extract
• 250g caster sugar
• 110g plain flour, sifted
• half tsp salt
• some chunks of white chocolate – preferably Green & Black’s White Organic.

Heat oven to 180 C.

Melt butter & chocolate slowly in a saucepan.

Beat the eggs, sugar & vanilla together in a large bowl. Let the melted choc mixture cool a bit before combining with the eggs & sugar. Whisk together. Then add the flour & salt and whisk into a smooth mixture. Stir in the white chocolate chunks.

Pour into a lined or well-greased tray – I used a rubber Tefal/Jamie Oliver thing that worked a treat. Bake for about 25 mins – checking carefully. You want it a bit gooey in the middle. Leave in baking tray to cool, then cut into slices. Perfect with a splodge of cream on a snowy day, or on their own with coffee.
