Brownies with Chocolate Chips
Ingredients
- 115 g salted butter, plus some for greasing the pan (I'm currently using a glass pie plate)
- 6 tbs cocoa powder (not drinking chocolate)
- 1 cup sugar (demerara is fine)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 50 g chocolate chips
Procedure
- Pre-heat oven to 180 C / 170 C for a fan oven.
- Grease the pie plate with some of the butter.
- Melt the rest of the butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Once melted, add 1 cup sugar. Stir often until it boils. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and continue stirring until the boiling stops. Place aside to cool.
- Place 6 tbs cocoa powder and 1/2 cup flour together in a medium mixing bowl. Mix together with the whisk.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 1/2 tsp vanilla.
- Once the butter-and-sugar mixture has cooled to lukewarm, add that and the other wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Fold in 25-50 g chocolate chips.
- Transfer to baking dish, using mixing spoon or spatula to make sure as much as possible is transferred.
- Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes, until just set in the middle. Brownies will continue to bake when removed from the oven.
- Cool (at least 15 minutes) before cutting.
