40g/1½oz cocoa powder
400g/13oz plain chocolate (either chips or a bar broken into small pieces)
Makes: 24 brownies
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 30–35 minutes
1 Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/GM4.
2 Melt the butter in a small pan and pour into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and eggs, mixing well. Then add the flour and cocoa powder.
3 Add the chocolate chunks and stir through. Lightly grease a 24cm x 20cm tin and pour in the mixture.
4 Bake for 30–35 minutes.
5 Remove from the oven and cut into 2-inch squares. Using a palette knife, remove from the tin and place onto a cooling rack. This helps to stop the brownies over-cooking and becoming a little dry.
Tips
• As soon as they are cool, place into an air-tight container to maintain freshness.
• It’s best to place the chocolate pieces in a bag and hit them with a rolling pin. I prefer to use a bar of plain chocolate broken into chunks, as it helps to make the brownies a little more rugged and you get a lovely chocolate surprise if you bite into a large chocolate bit!
