The secret to fudgy brownies is more chocolate and butter than flour, and pulling them out of the oven while the center is still a little soft.
Ingredients
- 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate (55–70%), chopped
- 150 g (⅔ cup) butter
- 250 g (1¼ cups) sugar
- 3 eggs
- 100 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour
- 30 g (¼ cup) cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and line a 20 × 20 cm (8 × 8 inch) tin with baking paper.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together over low heat or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
- Whisk in the sugar, then the eggs one at a time, whisking well for a shiny batter.
- Fold in the flour, cocoa and salt until just combined.
- Pour into the tin and bake for 22–25 minutes, until the top is set and a skewer comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the tin before cutting into 16 squares.
