One of the simplest, tastiest and most popular of recipes - it is the relatively high sugar content that gives brownies their delicious and characteristic crust. Do buy a chocolate with at least 70 percent cocoa solids for real flavour.
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
-
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water or in a low oven.
-
Cream the butter and sugar until pale, soft and light, then beat in the lightly whisked eggs, the vanilla extract and melted chocolate. Lastly stir in the ground almonds, gluten-free baking powder, salt and chopped nuts. Spread the mixture in the tin and bake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes.
-
Leave to cool, then cut into 5cm/2in squares for serving.
