I have been on a cookbook binge lately. This time I have Nigella's Kitchen which has an amazing collection of recipes. I opted for her everyday brownies which were really easy to make. They were deliciously moist and gooey with a slightly crunchy top.
150g unsalted butter
300g light brown muscovado sugar
75g cocoa powder, sifted
150g plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
pinch of salt
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
approx 150g milk chocolate, chopped into small chunks
icing sugar to dust (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 190C.
- Melt the butter over a gentle heat in a medium sized saucepan.
- When it's melted, add the sugar, stirring with a wooden spoon (still over a low heat) to help it blend with the melted butter.
- Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, bicarb, salt and then stir into the pan; when mixed (this will be a very dry mixture, and not wholly blended at this stage), remove from the heat.
- In a bowl or jug, whisk the eggs with the vanilla extract and then mix into the brownie mixture in the pan.
- Stir in the chopped chocolate and quickly pour and scrape into a baking tin and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes.
- It will look set, dark and dry on top, but when you feel the surface, you will sense it is still wobbly underneath and a cake tester will come out gungy. This is desirable.
Hmmm these look delish so fudgy and moist! Glad you liked the video! my husband's a bit of a pro photographer so he did a good job!
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing. You tempt me with the way you described these! Nigella Lawson always delivers :)
ReplyDeleteOh yum - this is my kind of brownie - all squidgy and rich!
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a good brownie and these look delicious.
ReplyDeleteThey look like amazingly chocolately. After a terrible Brownie Fail in my kitchen yesterday, I'm keen to whip up a batch of these instead.
ReplyDeleteLove these so simple & quick my they are a huge hit with everyone :)
ReplyDeletethey look yummy i'd love to try but I don't get the grams how to I convert to cups? butter always confuses me
ReplyDeleteI wouldn’t convert, cups aren’t as exact as grams for baking. It’s worth investing in a small digital scale that weighs in grams.
DeleteI've baked this 100 times now, it is the best brownie recipe
