Ingredients:

  • 110g butter
  • 130g Lindt 70% chocolate
  • 4 eggs
  • 100g flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 220g nuts (I use pecans or walnuts)
  • 450g sugar
    • 100g molassas sugar
    • 200g dark demerera
    • 75g maple syrup
    • 75g white cane sugar
And also:
  • Baking tin approximately 1442 inches in area (30cm x 30cm) and a few inches deep.
  • a large bowl, a glass mixing bowl and a saucepan with a smaller diameter
  • A wooden spoon and a sharp knife
  • Greaseproof paper, 1 sheet thereof
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 180oc
  • Grease tin with butter and line with a big sheet of greaseproof paper.
  • Melt butter and chocolate, both broken into bits, in a glass bowl above a pan of boiling water.
  • Mix everything together in the big bowl, mmm
  • Pour it into the tin, stick tin in oven, leave for about 30 minutes, have a check. If it's browning nicely, starting to pull away from the edges of the tin and you can stick a knife in it and pull it out again cleanly and easily, it's probably done. The mix will probably still be a bit gooey, that's fine, as it cools it firms up.
  • If it's not ready, give it another 5/10 minutes and check again. The cooking time really will depend on your oven, and does not scale linearly based on volume of brownie production.
  • Leave it to cool in the tin for a while, then take it out, leave it to cool a bit further, chop into bits of an appropriate size.

I like it!
