Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C; grease and line a 20cm square baking tin. 
  2. Melt the butter, chocolate, cocoa powder and sugars in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (making sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl), stirring occasionally, for about 5 mins or until combined. Remove from the heat and set aside for 5 mins to cool slightly. 
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then fold through the fl our and a pinch of salt until no white streaks remain. Pour into the prepared tin and level the top. 
  4. Bake for 30 mins or until just set; they should still have a slight wobble in the centre. Cool completely in the tin before cutting into pieces. The brownies will keepin an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Tip: Brownies continue cooking after they’re removed from the oven, so the ‘clean skewer’ trick doesn’t apply here.
