The original chocolate fudge brownies. A simple one pot, quick and easy recipe with no fancy extras. It produces super fudgy and delicious brownies every time with lots of walnuts for textural crunch.
Melt the butter, chocolate and muscovado sugar in a large saucepan over a low heat.
2 oz butter, 100 g dark chocolate, 6 oz dark muscovado sugar
Take off the heat to cool slightly.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
2 large eggs, ½ tsp vanilla extract
Stir in the flour and salt, followed by the walnuts.
2½ oz wholemeal flour, ¼ tsp sea salt, 2 oz walnuts
Scrape the mixture into a greased 8-inch square tin and level the top. Bake for about 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 180℃ (350℉, Gas 4). The brownie mixture should be well risen with a firm crust, but still have a wobble in the middle.
Leave to cool then cut into 12 pieces.
Notes
To make these brownies even more authentic, you could swap the walnuts for pecan nuts.And to ring the flavour changes, try swapping the vanilla extract for 1 tsp ground cinnamon.Please note: calories and other nutritional information are per serving.
