AMAZING BROWNIES- Baking

BROWNIES!

Welcome back to baking on Almost1998! I'm sorry its been a while, but now that exams have finished I have had more time to bake yay!

This week I made brownies which have got to be my favourite unhealthy snack to eat because they are so heavenly.

 

INGREDIENTS:

• 185g butter
• 185g chocolate (dark is best)
• 85g flour
• 40g cocoa powder
• 100g chocolate chips/chunks
• 50g marshmallows (optional)
• 50g chopped cashew nuts (optional)
• 3 eggs
• 275g caster sugar

 

MEHTOD:

• Preheat the oven to 180'c
• Firstly, in a saucepan, heat 185g of butter and chocolate together until it is all melted. To make sure that the chocolate doesn't burn as is melts quicker than the butter, chop the butter up into cubes.

In a separate bowl add in the caster sugar and 3 eggs. With an electric whisk, mix these together for around 3 minutes so that the mixture has almost doubled in size and it looks like vanilla milkshake.

 

• 
• Then add the chocolate and butter mixture when it is slightly cooler as you do not want it to cook the eggs and have lumps in your mixture.

  
• Then you can whisk it all together until it is all combined

• Now you can add the chocolate chunks and the optional nuts and marshmallows. Fold these ingredients in with a spoon or a spatula if you have one.

• Now sift together the flour and cocoa powder in a separate bowl and then lightly fold that into the brownie mixture.

• Now pop that into a baking tray and then it can go into the oven for 25 minutes.
• When it is done it may still have a wobble in the middle of the brownie. This means that your brownies will have a squidgy centre but if you do not like this then put them back in the oven for another 5 minutes.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed this post! I forgot to take a picture of the end product and when I remembered everyone had already eaten them!

See you next week!
