Chocolate Brownies












Who doesn't like brownies?


And they are so easy to make...



Ingredients:
100g Melted Butter
250g Caster Sugar
2 Eggs
1tsp Vanilla Essence
100g Plain Flour
50g Cocoa Powder.




Sieve the flour and cocoa powder together into
a bowl.
Add the sugar, and beat the eggs.
Add the melted butter, eggs and vanilla.





If you like nuts in your brownies, chuck em in now.




Beat the mixture well, you want to get a bit of air into it, so the brownies rise a bit in the oven.
Pour the mixture into a tin lined with baking
paper.









As you can see, this stage is really exciting!!!



Put the brownies on the middle shelf of the oven,
pre-heted to 170 oC / Gas 3
Bake for about 30 minutes.






Take 'em out and they should look a bit like this...
poke it with a skewer or knife, if you are used
to making sponges, it will look a little undercooked. Remember the brownies should be a bit gooey in the middle.
Let them cool , and then cut into squares.
