Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 180g | Unsalted butter |
| 330g | Dark chocolate |
| 270g | Caster sugar |
| 90g | Plain flour |
| 360g | Walnuts |
| 3 | Eggs |
Instructions:
-
Melt Butter and Chocolate:
- Begin by melting the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together in a double boiler. This creates a smooth, velvety base for our brownies.
-
-
Prepare Egg and Sugar Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and caster sugar until they form a light and creamy texture. This step is crucial for the perfect consistency of the brownies.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the melted butter and chocolate into the egg and sugar mixture. Gently fold them together until well combined. This creates the rich, chocolatey batter.
-
Fold in Flour and Nuts:
- Gradually fold in the plain flour and chopped walnuts. The walnuts add a delightful crunch and nuttiness to the brownies.
-
Prepare Baking Tray:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 26cm x 18cm (10in x 7in) biscuit tray. This ensures the brownies won’t stick to the tray after baking.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Transfer the batter into the prepared tray, spreading it out evenly. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking. The brownies should look glossy and have a soft texture when done.
-
Rest and Cool:
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them rest in the tray for 30 minutes. This allows them to set properly without becoming too firm.
-
Final Touches:
- Carefully turn the brownies out onto a cake rack to cool completely to room temperature. This step ensures a perfect texture and easy slicing.
-
Slice and Serve:
- Once cooled, cut the decadent chocolate brownies into your desired serving size pieces. They are ready to be enjoyed with a glass of cold milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or simply on their own for the ultimate chocolate indulgence!
These brownies are guaranteed to satisfy even the most intense chocolate cravings. Enjoy the rich, fudgy goodness and get ready to share the recipe with anyone who takes a bite! 🍫✨
