Yummy Chocolate Brownies

I’ve tried several brownie recipes in my time, but this one is the best so far – it’s based on an original recipe by Jamie Oliver. It’s really easy to make and the brownies taste great by themselves or with ice cream or cream.

Serves 12

Turn the oven to 180ºC and line a baking tray (25cm square or 6″ x 82 – the regular size) with baking paper.

Melt the butter and chocolate in a large pan over a low heat until combined, and then stir in the nuts.

Take off the heat and sift in the cocoa, plain flour, bicarbonate of soda and caster sugar. Mix well.

Beat in the eggs until the mixture is shiny and coming away from the sides of the pan.

Pour into the lined baking tray and bake for around 25 minutes, until it’s started to crust on the top but still wobbles a bit, so you get a nice gooey middle.

Leave to cool in the tray for a while, then cut into portions and serve. Yummy.
