Dish of the Week

This weeks Dish of the Week I found on the BBC's Good Food Recipes site by Orlando Murrin. I had to go home and try the recipe, putting both my flat mate and my own diet off for another week. Soo worth it though...

Best-Ever Brownies

 

What you'll need               

• 185g unsalted butter
• 185g best dark chocolate
• 85g plain flour
• 40g cocoa powder
• 50g white chocolate
• 50g milk chocolate
• 3 large eggs
• 275g golden caster sugar

Pre heat oven to 180oc (1600c for fan assisted)/gas mark 4.

1. Line a 20cm shallow square tin with baking paper.
2. Cut the butter into cubes, break up the DARK chocolate and put into a bowl. Put the bowl on top of a small pot quarter filled with hot water and on a low heat.
3. Allow the butter and chocolate mixture to melt, mixing together. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
4. Sieve the plain flour and cocoa into a clean bowl. Getting rid of any lumps.
5. Chop the white and milk chocolate into chunks on a board with a sharp knife. Tip; Remove the chocolate from the fridge 15minutes before so it's not too hard to cut. These are the 'chips' for your brownie so make them as big or small as you like.
6. Crack the 3eggs into another large bowl and add your sugar. Whisk together with an electric mixer on a High setting. The mixture will Double in size, and become stiff.
7. Add the stiff eggs and the melted chocolate from stage 3 together; folding the two mixture together gently until it's all the one colour.
8. Re-sieve the flour and cocoa into the chocolate eggy mixture. It’s not going to look great at this point, keep mixing GENTLY and it will turn gooey and fudgy.
9. Pour the lot into your tin, spreading right into the corners. Bang it in the oven for 25minutes. It's ready when it has a thin crust and starts to come away from the side of the tin.
10. They'll smell great when there done; the recipe says to wait until there cool to eat them. Naahh, I prefer then HOT!! Cut them up into portions and enjoy with a class of cold milk.
