I am obsessed with baking at the moment and find it super therapeutic. At the moment I've been loving to make brownies as they are my all time favourite.
Here is my recipe:
Ingredients:
185g Unsalted Butter
92g Dark Chocolate
92g Milk Chocolate
50g White Chocolate (my favourite to use is Green & Blacks for all three)
85g Plain Flour
40g Cocoa Powder
3 Large Eggs
275g Golden Caster Sugar
Method:
Cut 185g unsalted butter into smallish cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break up the milk & dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl with the butter. Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature.
While you wait for the chocolate to coo, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to 160 degrees conventional fan / 180 gas 4. Then cut out non-stick baking parchment to line the base of the tin. Now tip 85g plain flower and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl, and tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps.
With a sharp knife, chop 50g white chocolate.
Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar until they look thick and creamy, like a milk shake.
Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mouse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going over and over in a figure of eight, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a dark brown.
Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture. Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. Finally, stir in the white chocolate chunks.
Pour the mixture into a prepared tin and then put it in the oven for 25-30 minutes, if its not quite done, put it back in for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and then leave to cool.
I love these brownies so much they are so delicious, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
This looks so tasty !
