Deep Chocolate Brownies

Rowan pouring chocolate brownie batter into a lined tin

I can pour this batter in my sleep now. I love that moment when it all comes together and you tip it into the tin and it smells incredible. My little sister always sneaks in to scrape the bowl and I pretend not to notice.

How I make it

  1. Heat the oven to 180C and line a 20cm square tin.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter together over a pan of simmering water, then cool slightly.
  3. Whisk the eggs and sugar for five minutes until pale, thick and ribbony.
  4. Fold in the chocolate, then sift over the flour and cocoa and fold until just combined.
  5. Bake 22 to 25 minutes. The middle should still wobble. Cool fully before cutting.
