Traditional Brownies Recipe
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Step 2: Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water). Leave until melted and smooth.
Step 3: Remove from the heat. Add the sugar and stir until well incorporated. Add the flour and stir until well incorporated. Finally, stir in the eggs and mix until thick and smooth.
Step 4: Spoon the dough into the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until flaky on the top but still soft in the centre. Be careful not to overbake otherwise the edges will become hard and crunchy. Let cool completely before dusting with confectioners’ sugar, to decorate.
