Description

Ingredients

• 280g sugar - for the best results use light brown muscavado or dark brown muscavado sugar - you can also use caster sugar
• 340g dark/plain chocolate - I use 55% chocolate
• 5 large free range eggs
• 225g unsalted butter
• 100g ground almonds
• pinch salt

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 170 degrees and line a brownie tin with parchment paper. The one I used was 15 inch by 11 inch.
• First, combine the five eggs and the sugar and set them to whisk on high speed for five minutes, or until theyve transformed into a thick airy mousse like mixture.
• In a large bowl, break the chocolate into chunks and heat in the microwave at thirty second intervals, stirring after each one. Once the chocolate is close to being melted, add the butter to the bowl and allow the heat of the chocolate to help it to melt too.
• By hand, combine the chocolate butter mixture with the sugar egg mixture and stir them gently together. Stir in the ground almonds and a large pinch of salt. If you like the sweet/salty combo, sprinkle some flakes of sea salt on top of the brownies before theyre baked too.
• Pour the brownie batter into the pan and bake for 45 - 50 mins on the middle shelf of the oven, or until the edges are slightly browned and pulling away from the pan, and the top is crackled and firm (but the inside will still be very gooey). Remove from the oven after 50 mins at the most, even if youre not sure if theyre cooked. They will continue to cook and firm up as they cool.
• Let cool overnight if possible - if you want to enjoy immediately, scoop out a corner and enjoy with ice cream, but dont attempt to remove from the pan or cut until theyve completely cooled, as theyll be too gooey.
• Store in an airtight tin for up to a week (yeah right!).
