CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
Serves : Serves 12
Ingredients :
150 g butter 
180 g dark chocolate 
3 eggs 
1½ cups castor sugar 
1 tsp vanilla essence 
1 cup plain flour, sifted
¼ cup cocoa, sifted
Method:
1.  Melt the butter and chocolate in a small microwave 
safe bowl by cooking on 100% power for 1 minute 
45 seconds, stirring halfway through cooking (try 
cutting the butter into small cubes and breaking the 
chocolate into pieces for more efficient results).
2.  In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, castor sugar and 
vanilla essence until combined. 
3.  Whisk in the melted butter and chocolate, flour and 
cocoa until just combined. 
4.  Line the base and sides of a 21cm square 
microwave safe dish, such as a Pyrex dish, with 
baking paper. Leave a little extra baking paper on 
the sides to allow you to easily lift the brownies 
out of the dish later on. Pour batter into dish and 
cook for 10 minutes on 70% microwave power. The 
centre should be quite fudgy so a skewer should 
not come out completely clean.
