Brownies

I learnt this recently from a cook-book by Ann Nicol. It is extremely tasty.( In Marathi, Khamanga!). Do give it a try!

Ingradients:

Butter 100g
Cocoa powder 1tbsp
Plain chocolate 50g
Dark Muscovado sugar (I unfortunately, do not know its equivalent in India) 175g
Eggs 2 (beaten)
Self-raising flour 150g
Walnut pieces 100g ( or less)

Direction:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 C/ gas mark 4. Grease and line the base of a 8inch shallow square cake tin with non-stick paper.

2. Melt 50g of the butter with the cocoa and then add the chocolate broken into pieces.

3. Remove from the heat and stir until the chocolate has melted, then put aside to cool.

4. Beat the remaining butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.

5. Gradually beat in the eggs, then fold in the flour, nuts and the cooled, melted mixture.

6. Spread into the tin and spread the top level. Bake for about35 minutes until firm to the touch in the centre.

7. Cool in the tin, and then turn out. Peel away the lining paper and cut into the pieces.
