Brownies originated in the United States and
became quite a rage everywhere for their part-cake, part-cookie texture. They
are usually served warm, often with ice cream and chocolate sauce on the side,
sometimes with whipped cream. This sweet treat is a classic comfort food! So
try this recipe and do write in with your experience with it.

  dark or milk

How to:

• Preheat the oven to 180C.
  Grease a 9”X9” square tin (or an 11”X7” rectangular one) and sprinkle some
  flour in it. Set aside.
• Melt butter and chocolate
  in a bain-marie (double boiler). Transfer this to a mixing bowl.
• Add sugar & mix well.
  Add eggs one at a time and beat till just blended.
• Sift the flour, baking
  powder and salt together so that they mix evenly. Then stir in this dry mix into
  the wet mix. Add vanilla essence.

• Pour the batter into the
  baking tin. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and chocolate pieces or chips
  (alternatively, you can mix the walnuts and the chocolate in the batter
  itself).
• Bake at 180C for 20 minutes.
• Remove, cover the tin with
  foil and bake at 220C for another 20 minutes.
• When you put a knife in the
  centre it’ll not come out perfectly clean like when you bake a cake, as brownies are
  moister. So your brownies are done when there is no wet batter coming out on
  the knife.
• Cool slightly and cut into squares.
• Sift some icing sugar over
  the brownies and serve warm.

• A dollop of vanilla,
  chocolate or coffee ice cream
• Chocolate sauce
• Whipped cream and chocolate
  sprinkles
• All of the above!
