Baking

I'm suffering from complete crafter's block. My symptoms include-inability to follow a pattern, lack of inspiration, poor time management skills, shortened attention span and extreme exhaustion. Thank Goodness I can still bake-phew! It's my only creative outlet currently and apparently, the only project I can see through from start to finish... So let's celebrate that!

With the BEST chocolate brownie recipe I've found yet... Originally it was from an old Women's Weekly magazine, but I've tweaked it slightly over time.

Ingredients

1 cup of Castor Sugar

175g butter

2 Tablespoons Cocoa

175g dark chocolate-Whittakers is best

4 eggs

½ cup plain flour

1 large bag crushed Malteasers

Icing sugar to dust

Method

Heat oven to 160°C.

Melt butter and chocolate together in the microwave-or carefully in a saucepan. Whisk, then add the eggs and the sugar.

Sift the flour and cocoa into this mixture, stir (not heaps, just enough to mix together) then add the Malteasers.

Pour into your tin, lined with baking paper. Cook until a knife comes out cleanly-usually between 20-30 minutes. This recipe is pretty hard to burn- overcooked just means it's more chewy, which is a good thing! Store in an airtight container and enjoy!
