Well, I decided on Nigella Lawson's chocolate brownies. My helper and I measured, melted, and mixed and baked a batch of deliciously moist and chocolaty brownies. Unfortunately as they were baking, wafting delicious smells from the over, my sister texted me to cancel our weekend plans. My helper and I were devastated but saw the bright side - more brownies for us. We have visitors tonight in advance of the Munster - Toulouse match who will no doubt be hungry when they arrive and will eat whatever is left.
Brownies - Nigella Lawson 'How to be a Domestic Goddess'
375g soft unsalted butter
375g best-quality dark chocolate
6 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
500g caster sugar
225g plain flour
1 tsp salt
(original recipe includes 300g walnuts which I omitted)
tin measuring 33 x 23 x 5.5cm
Preheat oven to gas mark 4. Line brownie pan.
Melt butter and chocolate together in a large heavy-based saucepan. In a bowl or jug beat eggs with sugar and vanilla. Measure out flour and salt.
When the chocolate mixture has melted and cooled for a bit, beat in the eggs and sugar, and then nuts and flour. Beat to combine smoothly and scrape into lined pan.
Bake for 25 mins (I had to leave mine slightly longer). When ready the top should be dried to a paler brown but the middle still dark and dense and gooey.
They were absolutely gorgeous - 9/10.
