Scruffy's favourite chocolate brownies
Here's a recipe for a certain scruffy dogs favourite chocolate brownies. They were actually birthday brownies for my dad and don't worry she only got a tiny bit.
Ingredients
• 375 g soft unsalted butter
• 375 g best quality dark chocolate (I like the Lindt 85% stuff myself)
• 6 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 500 g caster sugar
• 225 g plain flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 300 g chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Line your approx 33 x 23 x 5 1/2cm brownie pan with foil or baking paper.
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a large heavy based saucepan.
In a bowl beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla.
Measure the flour into another bowl and add the salt.
When the chocolate mixture has melted, let it cool a bit before beating in the eggs and sugar mixture, and then the nuts and flour.
Beat to combine and then scrape out of the saucepan into the lined brownie pan.
Bake for about 25 minutes.
When its's ready, the top should be dried to a paler brown speckle, but the middle still dark and dense and gooey.
Keep checking the brownies as they cook; remember that they will continue to cook as they cool.
