How To Make Chocolate Brownies
Theres no
getting away from it: brownies are yummy. Theyre also incredibly easy to make with basic
store cupboard ingredients. I make these at least once a week, if not more, and their
gorgeous, slightly squidgy fudginess is just perfect as an afternoon treat or poshed up with
some whipped cream as an easy dessert. Heres how its done.
A word about chocolate
Firstly, a little note about chocolate. Dont, whatever you do, use cooking chocolate. In fact,
dont EVER use it for anything, its poo. Having said that, you dont need to spend a fortune
either. Purists will recommend 70% dark chocolate, and yes that gives a lovely result, but I
always keep a couple of bars of Bourneville in the cupboard, and I find it the perfect dark
chocolate for cooking: not too bitter, but full of flavour.
Right, then. On to the recipe:
Step two: meanwhile, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale, light and frothy. There is
no raising agent in brownies, so the air whisked in at this stage will stop them being a big
chocolate brick.
Step three: pour in the cooled chocolate/butter mixture and stir well.
Step four: lastly, add in the flour and any extras youre adding (nuts raisins smarties
whatever, see below). Stir briefly until the flour disappears.
Baking
I use a square silicone cake tin, given a little spritz of cake release spray, but any square or
rectangular tin will do. Make sure you line it very well as the brownies will stick.
Step five: bake for about 30 minutes or until the top is cracked and shiny. The centre should
still be slightly soft and squidgy.
And thats it. You are a brownie baker. Reward yourself with a massive slab of brownie,
served warm with ice cream (or if youre serving as a dessert, whisk some cream with a bit of
icing sugar and a slug of booze) or allow to cool and place in an airtight container.
Variations
So once youve mastered the basic recipe, you can do all sorts of wonderful things with
brownies:
Dot the top with fresh cherries, pushing them gently into the mixture
And when theyve come out of the oven, you can drizzle them with chocolate, stack them and
sandwich them with ganache whatever you like. If youre feeling ultra-decadent, you can
even whip up a cookie dough topping for them:
Cookie Dough Topping
130g butter, softened
130g muscovado sugar
100g caster sugar
4 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
200g plain flour
100g dark chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
Whizz up the butter and sugars with the electric whisk, add in the milk and vanilla and whizz
some more. Stir in the flour (it seems a lot, but it all goes in eventually). Finally, stir in the
chocolate chips. Spread over the top of your cooled brownie and refrigerate.
If you still dont think its coronary-inducing enough, you can finish by spreading a layer of
melted chocolate over the chilled cookie dough. But that would just be silly.

Tidak ada semakin jauh dari itu: brownies yang lezat. Mereka juga sangat mudah
untuk membuat dengan dasar 'toko lemari' bahan. Saya membuat ini setidaknya
sekali seminggu, jika tidak lebih, dan cantik, fudginess sedikit squidgy mereka
sempurna sebagai mengobati sore atau poshed dengan beberapa whipped
cream sebagai makanan penutup yang mudah. Berikut adalah bagaimana hal itu
dilakukan.
Sebuah kata tentang coklat
Pertama, catatan kecil tentang cokelat. Jangan, apa pun yang Anda lakukan,
variasi
Jadi, sekali Anda telah menguasai resep dasar, Anda dapat melakukan segala
macam hal yang indah dengan brownies:
Cobalah lipat dalam 50g tombol cokelat putih, atau dicincang fudge bar
atau menambahkan almond 50g, atau kacang macademia, atau kacangkacangan
Tambahkan kismis 50g direndam dalam rum kecil, kemudian dikeringkan
Ganti 50g mentega dengan selai kacang ...
Chuck dalam beberapa segenggam malteasers
Aduk beberapa sendok makan selai atau ceri selai
Dot atas dengan ceri segar, mendorong mereka dengan lembut ke dalam
campuran
Dan ketika mereka sudah keluar dari oven, Anda dapat gerimis mereka dengan
coklat, menumpuknya dan sandwich di mereka dengan ganache ... apa pun yang
Anda inginkan. Jika Anda merasa ultra-dekaden, Anda bahkan dapat menyiapkan
adonan kue topping untuk mereka:
Cookie Dough Topping
130g mentega, melunak
130g gula muscovado
100g gula kastor
Susu 4 sdm
1 sdt vanili ekstrak
200g tepung terigu
100g dark chocolate, cincang (atau chocolate chips)
Whizz up mentega dan gula dengan kocokan listrik, tambahkan susu dan vanili
dan jagoan lagi. Aduk tepung (tampaknya banyak, tapi semuanya berjalan di
akhirnya). Akhirnya, aduk dalam chocolate chips. Tersebar di atas brownies Anda
didinginkan dan dinginkan.
Jika Anda masih tidak berpikir itu koroner-inducing cukup, Anda dapat
menyelesaikan dengan menyebarkan lapisan cokelat leleh di atas adonan kue
dingin. Tapi itu hanya akan menjadi konyol.
