Makes 20
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate
- 300 grams butter
- 5 eggs

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C conventional/160C fan, and line a 20 x 30 cm deep-sided baking tray or roasting dish with baking paper
- Melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl: either over a pan of simmering water and stirring constantly, or using a microwave and stirring at 30 second intervals, until the butter and chocolate have just melted - do not overheat!
- Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract together in a separate, large bowl until pale and fluffy – use a food mixer or electric whisk if you have one
- Carefully add the chocolate and butter mixture to the egg and sugar mixture and mix together
- Add the flour and salt and mix together until smooth
- Pour the mixture into the lined baking tin and spread it out evenly
- Bake for 20 - 30 minutes depending on how gooey you like your brownies
- Allow to cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares
