This is my Chocolate Brownie Recipe.
I don't know where I got this recipe but probably ripped out of a magazine ( like all good recipes) whilst waiting at the doctors/ dentist.

Chocolate Brownies.
65g butter,cubed
50g plain chocolate,broken into pieces ( I used 72% cocoa chocolate today)
175g Castor sugar
65g SR flour
1/4 tsp Salt
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
50g walnuts, very coarsely chopped.

Preheat oven to 150c fan forced.
Line a 20cm square cake tin with parchment paper.
1. Melt chocolate and butter in TM bowl @ 37c for 5 minutes /speed 2
(Scrape down the bowl periodically during this time)
2. Add eggs,sugar and vanilla essence mix 10 seconds/ speed 3
3. Add the flour and salt and knead 10 seconds/
4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl,add nuts mix 5 seconds/

Cool in cake tin for 5 minutes and when completely cold cut into 9 pieces.

TM busy?  need a cake or dessert ASAP? Got a microwave?

ES - I made these tonight as I was after something quick to make. I was in a hurry and had a 100g block of Lindt chocolate that I couldn't be bothered weighing, so I adjusted the amount of the other ingredients. I used:
100g choc
100g butter
175g sugar
3 eggs
Vanilla paste
100g SR  flour
Pinch salt
75g walnuts

I melted the butter and choc in the microwave before putting it in the jug with the sugar, eggs and vanilla and mixed 10 sec on speed 3.
I then added the flour, salt and walnuts and used the knead (interval) setting until it was mixed, and then poured the mixture into a lined 20cm square tin and cooked for a little over 30 min.

The brownies are really yummy, but mine are more cakey than fudgy, but that may be due to the size of my eggs which were extra large

Brownies are my favourite !

I made these again and they turned out very fudgy this time. I couldn't find any walnuts so I used choc chips instead, and they were delicious.
