Brownies

Tray 7x11 inches 
Preparation time ~ 10 mins 
Cooking time - 30 mins 
Oven Temperature - 180 °C

Ingredients:

4oz Butter

4oz Plain Chocolate

8oz Caster Sugar

2 Eggs

4oz Plain Flour

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1. Preheat the oven and grease and line the baking tray
2. Melt the butter with the chocolate over boiling water
3. Remove from the heat and add the remaining ingredients
4. Pour into the tray and bake until the mixture shrinks from the side of the tin

NOTES:

You can use different sized trays but the trick to getting the texture gooey on the inside and crisp on the outside is to keep the tray small enough that the mixture is just under 1 inch deep. If the mixture is too shallow the brownies will be drier and more chewy but still good.
