Chocolate brownies
Makes 16
Sea salt cuts through the sweetness of the sugar and chocolate, resulting in an indulgent treat. There’s only one problem – one is never enough… You’ve been warned!
You will need
• 200g dark chocolate
• 200g butter
• 400g caster sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1½ tsp Cornish Sea Salt Original Crystals
• 125g plain flour
• 1tsp baking powder
• 130g mixed nuts, chopped
How to do it
1 Pre-heat the oven to 180C/Gas 4. Line the sides and base of a 20cm x 20cm baking tin.
2 Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water (taking care not to let the bottom of the bowl touch the water). In a large bowl, whisk the butter with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add the sugar and whisk again. Add one egg at a time and whisk in between additions.
3 Pour in the melted, cooled chocolate, add 1tsp of sea salt and whisk for about 30 seconds. Sieve together the flour and baking powder and fold gently into the chocolate mixture. Gently fold in the nuts. Pour into the baking tin and sprinkle the remaining ½tsp of sea salt on top.
4 Bake for 60 mins, cover with foil after 30 mins. Leave brownies to cool in the switched-off, opened oven. Once cool, cut with a sharp knife into squares.
