Ingredients
250g butter, softenedÂ
250g dark chocolate, broken into small even sized pieces
320g golden caster sugar
4 eggs, lightly beaten
150g plain flour
200g walnuts, chopped
Method
Preheat your oven to 170°C and lined a 9in square cake tin with parchment.
Melt the butter and chocolate together over a low heat.
Mix the sugar, eggs and flour until combined, stir in the butter mixture and the chopped walnuts.
Scoop into your prepared tin and bake for about 25 minutes. You use a skewer differently to test brownies than would with other cakes, it should not come out perfectly clean, as brownies have a stickier consistency. When you insert a skewer it should have damp crumbs on it but not raw batter. If the batter is still liquid put them back in for another three minutes or so and then repeat the test.
Allow the brownies to cool in the tin then cut them to your desired size.
