Easy& Good Brownie Recipe

 This recipe is really pretty good. I say pretty good because I know there are better brownies out there! These are not the best of the best brownies I have eaten, let's be honest. But this recipe is pretty fantastic if you ask me, and it calls for normal ingredients, nothing fancy, and not even the american brown sugar that brownies have that you can only find in Taste of America, nope, just confectionary sugar. 

Okay so here it is. It is a recipe from the british chocolate store Thortons and I picked it up literally 20 years ago! So a classic.

INGREDIENTS:
.200 grams of 70% dark chocolate.
-3 eggs.
-250 grams of confectionary/caster sugar. 
-125 grams of walnuts.
-1/2 tspoon of salt.
-1/2 tspoon of vanilla essence.
-110 grams of flour.
-200 grams of butter.

STEPS:
1. Melt the butter in a pot and add the chocolate in pieces and melt altogether. Yum!  The best chocolate for baking is 70% dark chocolate you all, not too much not too little, remember that.

2. Now beat the eggs with a hand mixer adding air to it. Beat them for 3 minutes and then add sugar, continue beating them with the hand mixer or rod mixes, de varillas. And why is this? because you need add the air into the eggs, which is what will make the top of the brownies have that wonderful crinkly shiny top.

3. Now add the chocolate and fold gently. Do not over mix. If you overmix you will kill all that air.

4. Now add the salt and vanilla essence.

5. Now add the flour, but you need to sieve it. Why?? because it will have lumps otherwise, so sieving the flour makes it smooth and snowy. Now add the flour little by little and fold gently until it dissappears, not too much, did you hear me??? and keep adding the flour.

6. Now add the walnuts that you have chopped a bit before, but not too fine.

7. Now preheat your oven to 180 degrees only low fire, not top!!!!  and when it has been going for 20 minutes stick your brownies.

8. Let them bake for 25-30 minutes. My pan was 20x30. Keep checking and do not overcook. It is better to leave the brownies slightly undercooked than too baked, it is not a cake.

7. Make sure you pay attention to your oven!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So gooooood. Even Kenton, who has high standards, was positively surprised. I'd say these brownies could be easily served in a restaurant with vanilla ice-cream.

I freeze all my desserts, that is why you see that bag because if you eat a whole batch of brownies you are gonna be running for an entire week every day.
