Brownies

Brownies are traditional North-American tray-baked cakes: always moist in texture, usually with chocolate and pecan nuts.

Brownies should still be soft in the middle, so need to be slightly undercooked.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).

Toast 200 g pecan nuts: spread them out on a baking sheet and put in the oven for 5 minutes.

Set aside, and leave the oven on.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Put 300 g dark chocolate et 300 g butter into a bowl.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Melt over a bain-marieor in the microwave on low power.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Put 200 g egg and 240 g brown sugar into a bowl and mix well.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Add the egg and sugar mixture to the chocolate.

Beat together by hand until thoroughly mixed.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Add 200 g flour, then the toasted pecan nuts.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Sit an 8-inch (20 cm) square tin, mould or ring on a sheet of cooking parchment, laid on a baking sheet.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Pour in the mixture.

Stage 9 - 3 min.

Bake for 20-30 minutes, checking the cooking frequently. Brownies should stay soft, so it is important not to overcook.

Stage 10 - 3 min.

Turn out when cold and cut in portions, if you wish.

Stage 11

You can serve brownies with real custard (crème anglaise) a little whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or something more adventurous, like fresh mint ice-cream.

Remarks

If you don't have pecan nuts, walnuts will work just fine.

For an extra-delicious brownie, you can caramelize the pecan nuts (Jeremy's idea).

For a brownie with a more 'cereal' texture, add 50g rolled oats to the mixture. If possible, toast these like the nuts.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
