Best Ever Brownies

[hana]

Hi. This is my first recipe post so I hope I'm doing it right! I've converted my all-time favourite, never fail brownie recipe - so here it is

INGREDIENTS

200g block good quality dark cooking chocolate
200g butter
25g good quality cocoa
250g caster sugar (made with raw sugar in TM)
3 eggs
50g plain flour (can use wholegrain)
25g self-raising flour
200g premium white chocolate, chopped
100g walnuts (optional)

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease and line a 3cm deep, 16 x 25.5 lamington pan.
2. Pop dark chocolate in TM and grate for 10 seconds on speed 8. Add butter and melt for 2mins @ 50 degrees on speed 3.
3. Add cocoa and caster sugar and mix for 5 seconds on speed 7.
4. Add eggs and mix for another 5 seconds on speed 7.
5. Add flours and mix for 20 seconds on speed 7.
6. Add white chocolate (and walnuts if using) and stir for 1 minute on reverse speed 2.
7. Spread mixture into prepared pan and bake for 35 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in pan. Cut into squares to serve.

Really yummy dusted with cocoa and served with whipped cream and the raspberry coulis from Everyday Cooking.

Hope you like this recipe as much as my family does!

NICKY 74 - absolutely delicious. I can't believe how much fat is in this recipe though, compared to the meagre 75gr total of flour!
thought it might not cook and that the flour quantity was a mistake but it cooked perfectly, needed maybe an extra 5 to 10 mins cooking time though! Thanks hana well done for your first recipe post!

Hally - The mixture  tasted delish, very rich but very nice. Love these, very easy & quick.

Obbie - Made these on the weekend too.

i am just trying to persuade my dh to make me a cake! this recipe sounds like it has just the right amount of chocolate in it! well he needs something to do inbetween waiting for the macadamia icecream to freeze and the 3 hours until you have to re'whip it again! it will be another late night as it only went in at 8.30p.m. will let you all know how it goes if he does it!
