The Best Chocolate Brownies Ever

Method
1. Grease a 18 x 28 cm brownie tin with some butter, or if using a cake tin, line the base with greaseproof paper, and grease the paper and tin.
2. Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat.
4. Take the pan off the heat and add the chocolate to the butter; stir the chocolate into the melted butter until the chocolate melts completely – if necessary return the pan to a very, very low heat or if you want to be safe heat it over a bain marie as it is easy to overheat chocolate.
5. Keep the melted chocolate and butter aside (off the heat).
6. Beat the eggs lightly in a large separate bowl.
7. Add the sugar, flour, walnuts, baking powder and salt to the beaten eggs.
8. Add the melted butter and chocolate to the egg mixture, and mix it all together thoroughly.
9. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking tin and bake for 18 minutes in the centre of the pre heated oven.
10. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into 12 pieces.
11. Eat the brownies on their own or with some vanilla ice cream. (They taste divine when they are warm, but be careful when removing them from the baking tin as they are quite crumbly until they cool down).
