Essential Ingredients- 100g Unsalted Butter
- 70g Brown Sugar
- 80-100g Dark Chocolate (adjustable to taste)
- 2 Fresh Eggs
- A dash of Vanilla Extract or Essence (for enhanced flavor!)
- 50-60g Cake Flour (for sifting)
- 1g Baking Powder (approx. 1/4 tsp)
- 1 handful of your favorite Nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, for your baking preparation, place the unsalted butter (100g), brown sugar (70g), and dark chocolate (80-100g) together in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over simmering water (double boiler method) and gently stir until the butter and chocolate are completely melted. It’s important to melt them slowly this way, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water directly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, crack in the 2 fresh eggs. Add a few drops of vanilla essence (or extract) for a lovely aroma. Whisk the eggs with a fork until they are well combined and smooth, without any lumps. You don’t need to whisk them too vigorously.
Step 3
Slowly pour the warm, melted chocolate mixture from the double boiler into the bowl with the whisked eggs. Use a spatula or whisk to mix them together until you achieve a smooth, glossy batter with no streaks of egg or chocolate. Mixing while it’s still warm helps all the ingredients emulsify beautifully.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the dry ingredients. Sift the cake flour (50-60g) at least twice through a fine-mesh sieve. This step ensures your batter will be extra smooth and free of lumps. Add the sifted cake flour, baking powder (1g), and your handful of prepared nuts to the batter. Gently fold them in with a spatula until just combined and no dry flour streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your brownies tough.
Step 5
Pour the finished brownie batter carefully into your chosen baking pan, spreading it evenly. It’s a good idea to line your pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter before pouring the batter to make removing the brownies easier later.
Step 6
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes. The exact baking time and temperature may vary depending on your oven and the amount of batter, so check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter. The ideal texture is slightly crisp on the edges and wonderfully fudgy inside.
Step 7
Once removed from the oven, let the brownies cool in the pan for a while before attempting to cut them. Cooling them completely in the pan helps them set properly. Once fully cooled, slice them into neat, bite-sized squares. Cutting them while warm can lead to them falling apart.
Step 8
Finally, for a beautiful finish, lightly dust the brownies with powdered sugar using a sieve. Enjoy a relaxing tea time with a cup of hot coffee or a glass of cold milk, savoring the rich flavor of your homemade real brownies!
