  • Melt milk chocolate (*see tip) and allow to cool slightly.
  • Whisk butter and sugar together in large mixing bowl until combined.
  • Add eggs & vanilla to butter mixture and whisk until light and fluffy.
  • Fold in melted chocolate using spatula.
  • Sieve in dry ingredients and stir. Careful not to over mix as brownies will become more cake like (**see tip)
  • Fold in remaining chocolate chunks.
  • Turn into greased baking tin and bake @ 170c / 350f for 30-34 mins depending upon how gooey you like them. I find the sweet spot in my oven is about 32 mins.
  • Leave cool enough to turn out from baking tin, sprinkle with icing sugar and cut into squares, rectangles or triangles depending upon your mood.
  • Enjoy with a glass of milk or perhaps a baileys on ice ;)   T

Notes

 

Essential Tools 

  • hand whisk
  • spatula
  • greaseproof paper
  • 9.5"x 9.5" baking tin
  • large mixing bowl
  • small heatproof mixing bowl
  • sieve
  • saucepan
  • butter spray/melted butter for baking tin
  •  

Tips/Tricks 

  • when melting chocolate its best to do in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure to stir and keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn
  • mixing the brownies by hand will allow you to control it better, using a electric mixer can sometimes over mix the brownies making them more cake like
  • I am currently using Cadbury's baking chocolate as I am a sucker for it growing up in Ireland
  • brownies will last 2 days stored in an airtight container at room temp or 3-4 days in the fridge
  • always grease the inside of the baking tin and the greaseproof paper, it may seem excessive but nothing worse than losing your brownies to the brownie fairies :)
