Chocolate Pecan Brownies
½ cup (2oz) all-purpose flour
7oz sugar
2 eggs
½ cup or 1stick (4oz) butter
3oz unsweetened chocolate
4oz chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
First butter and flour an 8 inch x 8 inch cake pan or alternatively
line the sides and base of the pan with parchment paper or aluminum
foil and preheat the oven to 350°F.
Next, break the eggs into a bowl. Add the sugar and the vanilla
extract and beat to mix. Then sift the flour and the baking powder
into another bowl and add the salt.
After this break the chocolate into pieces and put these together
with the butter into a heavy-based saucepan. Heat gently and stir
until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth.
Then remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool a little, before
adding the egg mixture. Beat well. Now add the sifted ingredients
and stir well to mix. Add the nuts and stir again.
Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared pan and bake for about
25 minutes or until the chocolate brownie begins to shrink from
the sides of the pan but the center is still soft and gooey.
Leave to cool in the pan, then cut the brownie into squares.
