BAKING COUTURE | STANDBY BROWNIES | DONNA HAY

These are so easy to make and are always our standby treat for an after school snack. 

From one of my favourite Donna Hay Cookbooks - Fast. Fresh. Simple.

150g butter

1 1/4 cups caster sugar

3/4 cup cocoa

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I use essence)

3 eggs

1/2 cup plain flour

Pre heat oven to 160°C. 

Place butter. sugar and cocoa in a saucepan over low heat and stir until the butter has melted.

Spoon into a bowl and add the vanilla and eggs, whisking well.

Sift the four over the mixture and whisk to combine.

Spoon the mixture into a 20cm square cake tin lined with non stick baking paper. 

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until centre is just set. 

Cut into squares to serve.

Dust with icing sugar.
