Ingredients:
150g Plain Chocolate 70% cocoa preferably
125g butter
1 teaspoon of salt
200g Caster sugar
50g Plain flour
25g cocoa powder
3 eggs
Method:
Preheat the oven at 170 degrees C
Prepare a baking tray 30cm by 20 cm and 5 cm deep. Greasy the tray by rubbing a thin layer of butter over in and then dust it with cocoa powder - this will stop the Brownies from sticking. If you want to be super sure you can line it with some grease proof paper too!
Break up your pieces of chocolate into a heat proof bowl, add the butter, sugar and salt.
Put half a pan of water on to boil.
Put your heat proof bowl on top of the saucepan, this is called a bain marie, the steam from the pan of water is what heats up your chocolate, this is so we can control the temperature the chocolate melts at.
When everything in the bowl has melted, take the bowl off the heat carefully so as not to burn yourself.
Measure your flour and cocoa powder into a seperate bowl and sift into you melted mixture.
Stir in well.
Add all three eggs to the mixture and stir well until the mixture starts to look glossy.
Add the baking powder.
Put it in the oven for 25-30 minutes, just so they don't wobble when she shake the baking tin gently.
Cool and cut into squares.
