Yet another Flavor Bible inspired recipe, brownies are really really easy to make. The only contentious issue is the final texture desired, I like mine soft & squidgy. That means I don’t bake them as long as others would.
This brownies go great with coffee. Enjoy!
To make this brownies you will need;
- 150 grams dark chocolate.
- 125 grams unsalted butter.
- 100 grams all-purpose flour.
- 100 grams macadamia nuts, roughly chopped.
- 25 grams cocoa.
- 3 large eggs.
- 100 grams sugar.
- 60 mls brandy.
Then just a few simple steps;
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Melt both the dark chocolate & butter in a bowl over simmering water(a bain marie). When melted stir in the brandy.
- Sift together the flour & cocoa into another bowl
- In another bowl add 100 grams of sugar & 3 large eggs, beat it hard with a balloon whisk until pale.
- Stir eggs sugar mixture into the melted chocolate.
- Fold the flour & cocoa into melted chocolate.
- Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts into the brownie mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tray.
- Baking for 30 minutes.
- At the end of the 30 minutes, the brownie will be soft & look under done in the centre. Thats alright, it will firm up as it cools down.
- When you ready to serve, slice into rectangles using a knife that has been dipped in hot water. This will help you cut cleanly.
- Dust with icing sugar & enjoy.

Looks nice, though I don’t have a sweet tooth. Best thing about brownies is the flaky papery thin crust one gets sometimes

@Kaasa Asante! How do you get the thin crust? Bake it longer? Never had that.

Hello Kip,
I have no idea how to get the paper-thin crust. I’ve tried more butter, dusting with cocoa before baking… nothing works!
