Baking Day - Best Ever Brownies



At the weekend I fancied a baking day, not sure what to bake I threw my facebook page open to suggestions! I soon had lots of scrumptious ideas to try..
With limited store cupboard ingredients I decided brownies sounded best.
Two things stood out though
1. I realise I had never made them before, and
2. Those who had suggested them also stated that 'they couldn't bake them though'!

Oh dear! Always up for a challenge and now with the vision of a delicious gooey brownie with my afternoon coffee I decided  to go for it! Me being me of course I changed the recipe I found 
(although this time I remembered to write it down as I went along!)

They turned out to be absolutely delicious  so even if you don't think you can cook Brownies give these a go and you'll have a little piece of chocolate heaven in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients

110g Melted Butter
200g Sugar
60g Cocoa
1 tspVanilla Extract
2 Eggs
110g Plain Flour
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt



Method

Mix ingredients together in order listed
Transfer to a greased, deep baking tin approx 6" x 8"
Bake in oven 180 degrees C 
Test after 16 minutes by shaking the pan slightly, if the middle wobbles leave in for another 2 minutes
Remove from oven and loosen edges away from sides.
Leave to cool in tin. Cut into squares and serve.







Although I did get a strange feeling that I was being watched whilst we ate them!!

A Lazy Easter


How was your Easter? We had a lazy one. For me that meant, relaxing with the family, snuggling up inside when it got really cold, and baking!

 


We weren't the only ones who missed the hour sleep when the clocks went forward this weekend...



How was your Easter?
