The Brownies
Rich, fudgy and wonderfully simple. The kind of brownies that deserve a permanent place in the recipe box — and probably disappear faster than you'd expect. ♡
♡ these are the brownies I make when I want something chocolatey without making the whole kitchen complicated.
♡ you'll need ♡
175 g butter
2.5 dl sugar
3 eggs
2 dl flour
1.75 dl cocoa powder
1 tbsp vanilla sugar
A pinch of salt
♡ how to make them ♡
Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a baking tin with parchment paper.
Put the eggs and sugar in a bowl and mix them together with an electric whisk. Mix until you have a fluffy egg mixture.
Melt the butter either in the microwave or on the stove. Once the butter is about 90% melted, pour it into a separate bowl and add the cocoa powder. Gently fold until evenly combined.
Combine the chocolate mixture with the egg mixture and whisk again. Add the flour and mix until you've got a smooth batter with no visible flour clumps.
Pour the batter into the tin and bake until the edges are set but the middle is still slightly soft.
Let them cool before slicing. Or don't. I'm not judging. ♡
The most important part is not overbaking them. The centre should still have a little softness when they come out of the oven — they'll continue setting as they cool.
the brownie rule
If you're standing in the kitchen waiting for them to cool, you've already waited long enough. Cut yourself a corner piece. ♡
