These lovely, chocolaty brownies are great for any occasion!
Cooking and baking are my favorite things. Baking especially is my favorite thing, so I’ve decided to show you a great recipe for chocolate brownies!
The ingredients required are:
150 g dark or milk chocolate, broken into pieces
1 cup softened butter, 2 cups all – purpose flour
½ cup caster (superfine) sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 beaten eggs
25 grams chopped pistachio nuts (don’t worry, you can’t taste ‘em)
100 g roughly chopped white chocolate
And finally, icing sugar for dusting (optional).
You will also need a 9 x 9 inch baking pan.
Start by lightly greasing the baking pan and after doing so melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over a low fire. Stir this mix until completely mixed and leave to cool slightly. Then sieve (strain) the flour into a separate mixing bowl, stir in the caster (superfine) sugar, and add the baking powder. Afterwards, stir the eggs into the melted chocolate mixture, then pour this mix into the flour and sugar mix, beating well. Stir in the pistachio nuts and white chocolate, then pour it into the pan, spreading it evenly into the corners. Bake in a preheated oven, Gas Mark 4, for 30-35 minutes until firm to the touch. The brownie might not be completely firm in the middle when it’s removed from the oven, but it will set after you leave the brownie in the pan for 20 minutes.
Finish up by sprinkling the icing sugar over the brownie, or by setting chocolate chips on the brownie and cutting it into either 12 pieces or into as many pieces as you want. Another variation is cutting a piece, slicing it in half, applying cream in between slices, and setting chocolate chips on top. Either way, they’ll surely be delicious!
