Brownies

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a square baking dish and line it with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Melt the butter and chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, caster sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. 4

   Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the sugar mixture and mix until smooth.

5. 5

   Sift the flour into the chocolate mixture and fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

8. 8

   Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before lifting out the parchment paper to transfer them to a cutting board. Cut into squares and serve.
