If there’s one thing you’ll spot in a shop window or on a stall at a farmer’s market and find yourself stopped in your tracks to have a little drool over, pondering whether to pick yourself up one or seven, it’s brownies. Brown, chocolatey, light, fluffy squares of heaven. The ones with nuts are even more dribble-worthy. This comes at a particularly painful time, given that I’m off chocolate for lent, but Rory’s gone and made them anyway. 7 simple ingredients and voila, it’s fat pants time.

Instructions

Step 1

So without shadow of doubt this is a simple assembly recipe – just get you weights and measurements right and you’ll have Brownies coming out of your ears!

Step 3

Crack the eggs (free range please or you are dead to me!) and froth them with a hand whisk to get plenty of air in there – you want bubbles!

Step 4

This the hard part – hard in so much as it’s hard to stop licking the bowl, spoon, counter top, your own face – combine butter and chocolate and melt over a small pot of simmering water.
