Today I made Chocolate Brownies


Ingredients:
(Makes 12 Large)
- 150g Unsalted Butter
- 150g Sugar
- 100g Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Large Eggs, cold
- 100g All Purpose Flour
- 50g White Chocolate Chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 160°C and line a 8x8 inch baking tin with parchment paper, leave it over hang slightly so it easier to remove from the tin.
2. Put the Butter, Sugar and Cocoa Powder in a Microwave friendly bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until the butter is completely melted. The mixture will look a little gritty, but rest assured that's how it's suppose to look.
3. Stir in the Vanilla Extract. Add in the eggs one at a time and mix thoroughly after each addition. The mixture will be thick and look shiny.
4. When the eggs are added you can start to whisk in the flour, mix till all the flour is incorporated but make sure not to over-mix as this will leave you with a heavy, tough brownies.
5. Pour half the mixture into the pan then sprinkle half the white chocolate chips on top then pour the remainder of the mixture on top and then finish with the remainder of the white chocolate chips.
6. Bake for 25 minutes, I normally set an alarm as when it comes to baking, timing is vital. Insert a toothpick into the center, if it comes out with just a few crumbs on it then it is done, if it comes out with the liquid mixture on it then it is not done and you can cook it for a further 2-3 minutes. Do not bake for over 30 minutes as this will dry your brownies out.
7. Allow the brownies to cool completely before you cut them into squares. This may be the most difficult part of the whole process. I normally put them into the fridge to speed up the cooling process as I have no patience.
