Ingredients
- 225g/8oz butter (preferably unsalted)
- 450g/1lb caster sugar
- 140g/5oz dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 5 free-range medium eggs
- 110g/4oz plain flour
- 55g/2oz cocoa powder
Method
-
Heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Line a 20x30cm/8x12in baking tin with baking paper.
-
Gently melt the butter and the sugar together in a large pan. Once melted, take off the heat and add the chocolate. Stir until melted.
-
Beat in the eggs, then stir in the flour and the cocoa powder.
-
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tin and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top of the brownie is just firm but there is still a gentle wobble in the middle.
-
Take out of the oven and leave to cool in the tin. Cut the brownies into 5cm/2in squares when only just warm, or completely cool.
