DARK MUSCOVADO BROWNIES WITH CHOCOLATE SALTED FUDGE SAUCE
DARK MUSCOVADO BROWNIES
10 minutes preparation
30 minutes cooking
• 250g dark muscovado sugar
• 200g semi-salted butter
• 350g good dark chocolate, chopped
• 3 eggs
• 50g self-raising flour
Prepare
1. Heat the oven to 190°C. Butter and line a 20cm square brownie tin.
2. Melt the butter and chocolate in a bain-marie or in the
microwave. Remove from the heat as soon as they are melted and
stir. In the bowl of your mixer or with an electric mixer, whisk the
eggs until they become pale and frothy. Add the sugar and beat
everything together.
3. Add the chocolate and melted butter with a spatula, then pour
the flour and mix to a smooth batter.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for about
30 minutes. The top should be cracked, and the centre still a
little wobbly.
5. Remove from the oven, allow to cool, cut into squares and serve.
