Easy Brownies

Try these easy to make, rich and delicious brownies.

A gooey soft interior with a slightly chewy top; these brownies are ideal to satisfy a rich chocolate brownie craving!

They are so easy to make, and are great way to engage the kids over the holidays. Feel free to tweak the recipe as you wish, adding chopped walnuts, dried cranberries or raspberries to the mix.

To blend ingredients easily, make sure the eggs are at room temperature, and are lightly beaten. The dry ingredients should be gently folded into the mixture, so there is no need for an electric blender for this recipe.

Grease your baking pan, even if it is non-stick, and then dust with a thin layer of flour. This double precaution is necessary as when the sugar melts, it caramelises near the surface of the hot pan. After cooking, when it cools, the sugar will solidify and will stick to the surface. So, the dusting creates an extra non-stick layer between the mixture and the pan.

Finally, allow to cool before slicing to achieve a clean cut. Enjoy!
