I've been baking, roasting, grilling and frying up a storm. Here's a sneak peak at one of my latest creations. Chewy in the middle and crunchy on top with little hidden chocolate delights.
The best ever Chocolate Brownies

½ cup plain flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
1 ¼ cup caster. sugar
160g unsalted butter
2 eggs, cold
⅛ tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. cornflour

1 cup. chocolate chips

1.
Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Line a 20x20cm pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2.
In a microwave safe bowl, add the
butter and sugar. Heat in the microwave on high for about 1 minute and 15
seconds. Remove, stir, and cool on the counter for 5 minutes, then stir in the
vanilla extract and cocoa powder.
3.
In the bowl of a stand mixer add the
warm (but not hot) butter/sugar mixture. With mixing speed on low add one egg
at a time, mixing just until incorporated.

gradually add dry ingredients. Mix until no flour pockets remain. Remove bowl
from stand and fold in the chocolate chips..

the prepared pan. Place in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the
brownies are set. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 30-45 minutes before
