• How To Make Fudgy Brownies?

  1. Add the butter and sugars to a large mixing bowl.

  2. Whisk together until well combined. NOTE: I use a basic whisk because I find it easier (and there is less washing up!). You can also use a hand-held electric mixer or even a stand mixer if you wish.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time and whisk well in between.
  4. Add the vanilla and whisk until the mixture is quite pale and creamy. It does not need to be fluffy.

  

  5. Melt your chopped chocolate in the microwave in a clean, dry bowl. Make sure you melt the chocolate in slow bursts, stirring well in between, so it does not burn or seize.

  To melt chocolate using a double boiler: fill a small saucepan a quarter of the way up with water. Bring to a simmer on the stove. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over the pot of water. Stir well until the chocolate is melted.

  6. The chocolate should be smooth and lump-free once it is properly melted.
  7. Pour melted chocolate into butter mixture.
  8. Whisk until well combined.
  

  

  9. Add the cocoa powder, flour and salt to the batter (no need to sieve).
  10. Stir together until well combined. I use a wooden spoon at this point instead of a whisk because it is easier to work with.
  11. Scrape the batter into a 20 cm (8 inch) square cake tin.
  

  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the brownie has a crackly, shiny top and wobbles only slightly.
