► CLASSIC BROWNIES RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:
• 75 g (½ cup) plain (all-purpose) flour
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 180 g dark chocolate chopped
• 150 g unsalted butter cubed
• 3 eggs room temperature
• 220 g (2 cups) caster (superfine) sugar
• 50 g (½ cup) chopped walnuts optional

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease a 20 cm (8 inch) square cake pan and line with baking paper, extending paper 5 cm (2 inch) over sides.
2. Whisk flour and cocoa powder in small mixing bowl to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
3. Melt the chocolate and butter together. Place chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave in 30 seconds increments, take the bowl out and stir each time. Set aside to cool slightly.
4. Use an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the eggs and sugar together until thick and pale and at ribbon stage (about 5-7 minutes). Ribbon stage test: When you lift the whisk out of the bowl, the mixture should fall back into the bowl in thick, ribbon like trails that sits on the surface for a moment before slowly dissolving back into the mixture.
5. Add ⅓ of the chocolate mixture and whisk on a low speed until combined. Add the remaining chocolate mixture and whisk until combined.
6. Sift the flour and cocoa mixture over the egg and chocolate mixture and using a spatula gently fold until just combined.
7. Optional: Add the walnuts and gently fold until well distributed through the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top of the cake has a shiny, thin crust and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out with moist crumbs attached. Leave brownie in pan to cool completely.
9. Lift brownies from the cake pan using the baking paper. Cut into squares to serve.
