Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and base-line a 20cm-square baking tin with baking parchment. Gently melt chocolate and unsalted butter together in a bowl over hot water until smooth then cool a little.
  2. Whisk 6 whole eggs, 2 yolks and caster sugar together until pale. Fold the melted chocolate mix into the eggs. Sieve cocoa powder with plain flour then fold everything together until evenly mixed.
  3. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 20 minutes until slightly risen at the edges. Allow to cool completely in the tin.
  4. Cut into 12 and indulge - you should have a thin crisp crust and a rich, gooey centre.

    The first time I made these they were far too rich.However when I changed the ingredients around a little bit,(1 yoke and 4 eggs,and tablespoons less of flour.Also few tbs of milk),they came out even more delicious then the first time.Other than the richness they are gooie,moist and chocolatey.One of the best brownies I have ever made and tasted...which are lots!

    i loved this recipe! best brownies ive ever made/tasted, and im somewhat of a fanatic when it comes to brownies! i always find very dark choc to be a little bitter in recipies iike this, so i used 2 bars of cadbury, one bar of bourneville, and hersheys unsweetened cocoa powder. match made in heaven! i also added 1 tsp good vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp espresso powder to brng out the chocolate flavour. the texture of these is everything you want in a brownie! very dense, very rich, ultra chocolatey and downright filthy! they do melt in the mouth. if this is too much for you make a chocolate sponge....these brownies are meant to be very rich. will defo be making again!

    This might sound like a silly question but can these be made with milk chocolate as I can't eat dark.
