It's been a while, yes, but I've been busy. Like, today I finished invigilating the PMR examination and setting my own tradition as chief invigilator, I decided to treat my fellow invigilators to a home baked something. It took me a while to think of what to bake when eventually I decided on brownies. After all what better treat as brownie points for a hardworking lot of invigilators.
I'm glad the brownies went down well with the group. Fortunate (or unfortunately, depending how you look at it!) these guys are the last lot to sample my baked treats, at least where invigilating exams are concerned; since I have from this year onwards decided not to invigilate anymore (or so I think!) Anyway, hope my fellow invigilators (the ladies at least!) will find this recipe easy to undertake and the result similar to mine, if not better. Happy baking!
125g butter
100g dark chocolate
2 large eggs
200g sugar (I used brown sugar)
150g all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
100g hazelnuts
Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler. Remove from heat and beat in the eggs. Add this mixture to the sugar, flour, baking powder and hazelnuts and beat until well-mixed. Spoon into a lined and greased 9-inch tin and bake for 40 minutes in a 170 C oven. Be sure to completely cool the brownies before cutting into squares.
P.S. I prefer my nuts roasted prior to being used in a cake. So I dry roasted them in a pan, removed the skin and bashed them a bit before chopping them!
