Milk is an important source of nutrients that you and your family shouldnt miss out on. If someone in your family has lactose intolerance and the rest of the family still want to enjoy the taste of real milk, try Lactofree - the UKs first virtually lactose-free dairy drink.
Which recipe did you use? What was wrong with them>
Do you have Delia's complete cookery course? Those are my favourite (very gooey but crispy on top). Nigella has some too in How to be a Domestic Goddess. They're ok but my prefernce is Delia. If you don't have it, I can post it tomorrow.
A 7 or 8 inch square tin lined with greaseproof paper/baking parchment and the oven set to 180/GM4 moderate oven.
A small saucepan in to which you put
150g butter
150g chocolate, at least half of it should be plain
On a low heat and let it melt together and leave it to cool slightly
Then beat together in a bowl
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
175g caster sugar
Until creamy looking, use a hand whisk or an electric one
Then sift in
100g plain flour
1 big tablespoon of drinking chocolate
And a quarter of a teaspoon of salt
Throw in 100g walnuts
And the chocolate and butter and mix well with a spatula, but don't beat it. It should be smooth and glossy.
Scrape the batter into the lined tin and bake it for 18 minutes.
Then have a look at it, the top should be pale and opaque with a couple of cracks starting to emerge like a dried up muddy puddle. The body of the mix will still be slightly wobbly with the edges looking like ordinary cake. If it isnt like this then leave it in for another 3 minutes or until the first cracks in the puddle surface appear.
I've never got the gooeyness right with these. They've been so gooey you have to eat them with a spoon (which is no bad thing). I just need to perfect the cooking time...
Add a little more flour than Suzy suggests for perfect consistency. Also, I often add zest and a splurge of juice from an organe for chocolate organge brownies. Blardy good!
Gordon Ramsay's are v nice and gooey,I under cook slightly as our oven is fast and add vanilla extract for my own personal touch...can dig out recipe but not until my kitchen is done ( being built) as I don't know where the recipe books are stored !
