Brownies

Honestly I'm not a fans of Brownies, but I definitely a fans of chocolate. I "think" I have never try brownies before but definitely have seen and heard before. The first sight I look at brownies, my brain is telling me that this black block must be a very sweet and hard dessert.

But it proven me wrong after I bake this very own brownies and give it a taste & I in love with brownies now. I read tips of baking a brownies from other blogger - do not over bake a brownies if not it will become a chocolate cake. Brownies should be soft and fudgy in the inside and firm texture on the outside.

This is my first attempt baking the brownies and I'm quite satisfied with the result. The brownies has a nice firm texture on the surface, inside is moist, soft and fudgy. I can't help but took a second piece in one day and continue another piece on the next day is still taste as good.

The instruction given baking time is from 30 to 35 min, I bake mine for 30 min as I halve the original recipe.

*Recipe shown below have already halve.

Ingredient:

• 80gm dark chocolate
• 87.5gm butter
• 130 brown sugar
• 65gm flour
• 30gm cocoa powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
2. Line the baking tray/tin with baking paper on the base and side.
3. Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water) Leave until melted and smooth.
4. Remove from the heat. Add the sugar and stir until well incorporated.
5. Sift flour, cocoa powder and add into the mixture and stir until well incorporated. Finally, stir in the eggs and mix until thick and smooth.
6. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking tray/tin and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until flaky on the top but still soft in the center. *Be careful not to over bake otherwise the edges will become hard and crunchy.
7. Leave to cool completely and cut desired size into pieces.
