A brownie is a dense chocolate bake made from dark chocolate, butter, sugar, eggs and a little flour, cut into squares. A good one has a thin, shiny, crackly top and a fudgy, almost molten centre. It is served on its own with coffee, warm with a scoop of ice cream in cafés, or packed as a lunchbox treat.

Recipe

16 servings45 min

Ingredients

200 g dark chocolate (70%), chopped
150 g butter
250 g sugar
3 eggs
80 g plain flour
Pinch of salt

Method

Heat the oven to 180 °C and line a 20 × 20 cm tin with baking paper.
Melt the chocolate and butter together over low heat or in short bursts in the microwave; cool slightly.
Whisk the eggs and sugar for 2–3 minutes until pale and thick, then fold in the chocolate mixture.
Sift in the flour with the salt and fold gently until just combined.
Bake for 22–25 minutes until the top is crackly and a skewer comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.

How to make it lighter

Cut the tray into 25 small squares instead of 16 — each is then about 150 kcal.
Have it with fresh berries instead of ice cream.
Freeze the rest individually so one piece is a planned treat, not a whole tray.

History

Brownies are an American invention; one popular story credits the kitchen of the Palmer House hotel in Chicago with an early version made for the 1893 World's Fair. Recipes under the name 'brownies' appeared in American cookbooks in the early 20th century and quickly became a home-baking classic.
