Steps:
- Cut 185g unsalted butter into small cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl.
- Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them.
- Remove the bowl from the pan. Alternatively, cover the bowl loosely with cling film and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on High. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature.
- While you wait for the chocolate to cool, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- Using a shallow 20cm square tin, cut out a square of non-stick baking parchment to line the base. Tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl. Tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps.
- Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board.
- Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar. They will look thick and creamy, like a milk shake. This can take 3-8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is. You'll know it's ready when the mixture becomes really pale and about double its original volume. Another check is to turn off the mixer, lift out the beaters and wiggle them from side to side. If the mixture that runs off the beaters leaves a trail on the surface of the mixture in the bowl for a second or two, you're there.
- Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going under and over in a figure of eight, moving the bowl round after each folding so you can get at it from all sides, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. The idea is to marry them without knocking out the air, so be as gentle and slow as you like.
- Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly.
- Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Stop just before you feel you should, as you don't want to overdo this mixing.
- Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they're dotted throughout.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Gently ease the mixture into the corners of the tin and paddle the spatula from side to side across the top to level it.
- Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 mins. When the buzzer goes, open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it's not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. Take out of the oven.
- Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then, if you're using the brownie tin, lift up the protruding rim slightly and slide the uncut brownie out on its base. If you're using a normal tin, lift out the brownie with the foil. Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares and finally into triangles.
- They'll keep in an airtight container for a good two weeks and in the freezer for up to a month.

THE BEST BROWNIES
These brownies are not cake-like. They are more moist and gooey. I always undercook them a bit because we like them very moist.

Steps:
- Grease a 9 x 13 pan and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Whisk the flour and salt together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Now make a water bath (or use your double boiler). Fill a suacepan with water, about half way. Set it on the stove and heat the water. Place a heat-proof bowl, like a mixing bowl, right on top. The water may touch the bottom of the bowl, but it should not over flow. Place the butter and chocolate in the bowl. We are now melting the butter and the chocolate together.
- Stir frequently; chocolate needs to be melted gently so it won't seize. When the butter and chocolate are combined, add one cup of sugar and the vanilla. Set the mixture aside.
- In a bowl for mixing, put the remaining cup of sugar and the eggs. Mix together until just combined.
- Take about half of the sugar/egg mixture, and while stirring, add to the chocolate mixture. Keep the egg mixture moving to prevent cooking the eggs.
- Now back to your mixer - beat the remaining egg/sugar mixture on medium high until it doubles in volume, or about 3 minutes.
- Using your spatula, fold the whipped egg mixture into the chocolate mixture. Now sprinkle the dry ingredients over your batter. Gently fold, working only until you no longer see the flour.
- Scrape all that batter into your prepared pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 25 minutes, until done.
- The top of the brownie will look like a dry lake bed. Test the brownies to see if they are done. You are mainly looking for the brownies to set up. When it sets up you are done heating them. They will continue to cook when you remove them from the oven. This will ensure that you do not overcook the brownies. You will want them nice and moist.
- You MUST resist the urge to cut into these treats. Just wait! Let the brownies set for about an hour. You will be happy you waited.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later.
- In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color.
- Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure it's not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.
- Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk!
- Enjoy!

- Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the final flavor of your brownies. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the brownies bake evenly.
- Don't overbake the brownies: Overbaking the brownies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies for the amount of time specified in the recipe.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent the brownies from falling apart.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature: The brownies will keep for up to 3 days.
