I know I haven’t been blogging as much as normal! Today, I’ve just focused on catching up on the homefront which has included lots of washing, folding, groceries, cleaning, making salmon cakes for dinner and spending some time catching up on keira’s handwriting!!! Somehow, we also managed to find some time to make brownies while the babies were napping!
nothing makes your home smell nicer than a batch of good brownies in the oven….. and nothing tastes better for afternoon tea either. But I’ll be the first to admit when you’re not watching your waistline it’s pretty easy to eat a whole row of the brownie yourself….as seen here.
I can’t find where I put my recipe on my blog but here it is in case you missed it last time….I’ve been making this recipe since I was a single girl living in london!
200g dark cooking chocolate (broken into small pieces)
100g butter (cubed)
1 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup SR flour
Melt the butter and chocolate over a low heat in a saucepan or microwave stirring often. Place in bowl and cool slightly, add sugar, eggs and flour stirring gently after each addition. Pour into lined square cake tin and bake in 180 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes until top and sides are crispy and centre is cooked but still slightly gooey. Leave to cool in pan (if you can resist),then slice and enjoy!
mmmm, may need to try this! Looks great.
Sounds good. I’ve printed it out to try.
YUM! Next time I’m at the shops I think I’ll pick up some chocolate and give these a try.
yum!! thank you for sharing
yum!!! i love brownies!!
i had one of those days yesterday… 5 loads of washing later and housework… but i forgot to bake brownies… that certainly would have made for a better day
Oooh yum yum! And salmon cakes! I have a hankering to make some of those right now!!
I am a little freaked out. I just finished making salmon fish patties for our dinner tonight too, and was going to blog a very similar chocolate brownie recipe right now, when I stumbled on your post earlier today. I have been meaning to blog it for ages, as it is divine to eat, easy to make and a must have recipe (in my opinion) I also eat lines of it. My excuse is I am breastfeeding, so can eat more of it (for now!)
Yummo – just made this recipe – I love the simplicity and the deliciousness! Thanks, Corrie!
ooh, yum, I’m going to try those out for sure. Thanks for sharing….
Ooh thanks Corrie. I’ve been thinking a brownie recipe would be a good addition to my cooking repertoire. I’m going to try that.
Oooh, yum Corrie! These look great! Someone told me on my recipe that if I would leave the baking powder out of them, they’d be more fudgy, which I’m assuming perfectly describes yours (since you don’t have bp)– and that’s just the way I love them — I don’t like them so cakey. I do like frosting too — I think between the two of us, we have the perfect brownie recipe LOL!
ooh delicious! Ilove the way it has cracked on top. Perfect-o!
Hi, thanks for posting this, I came across it via Townmouse blog and made a batch up for a friend struggling through night time feeding of a 4 month old. It hit the spot this afternoon and will be made again – a great nap time whip up! Thanks again x
This makes such yummy brownies and great for nap time whip up. I made a batch this afternoon for a friend struggling with night time feeds (not sure it is the recommended snack for night feeds but if it makes you smile!). I found it and you via Townmouse.
Thanks again
