Chocolate Brownies

Total time:
1 hour 10 minutes
Makes: 24
Ingredients
- 375g unsalted butter
- 375g dark chocolate
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 500g caster sugar
- 225g plain flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 300g chopped walnuts
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a cake tin measuring about 32 x 22cm with foil or parchment.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together in a large heavy-based pan. In a bowl or large, wide-mouthed jug, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla until well combined. Measure the flour into another bowl and add the salt.
- When the chocolate mixture has melted, let it cool a bit before beating in the egg and sugar mixture, and then the nuts and flour. Beat to combine smoothly and then scrape into the lined tin.
- Bake for about 40 minutes. When it's ready, the top should be dried to a paler brown speckle, but the middle should still be dark and dense and gooey and only just firm. Keep checking: the difference between gungy brownies and dry brownies is only a few minutes; remember that they will continue to cook as they cool. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
