best brownie recipe?

[Chapsie]

There are so many online I don't know how to choose! Can anyone recommend one? We need to bake this afternoon :-)

[BeccaMumsnet]

Hi all - we're going to pop this over to Food/Recipes so we can keep these recipes forever

[Wolfcub]

Thank you pearsoup

I just snaffled mine straight from the side in about 3 seconds after my run - it was 8 miles so I'm optimistically thinking I earnt it

[CakeNinja]

Ah okay, well they did cut absolutely fine anyway, but I've now put them in an airtight container in the fridge to be on the safe side!
DC had them still warm with a dollop of clotted cream. Yum.

[ErgonomicallyUnsound]

It just makes them easier to cut.

[CakeNinja]

Oh shit, didn't read the bit about putting them in the fridge before cutting
What would that have done?
They're pretty good already, would have preferred a thicker crust on the top though, but they have a very fine crisp layer and then pure gooey squidgy heaven

[HypodeemicNerdle]

Nothing useful to add but a shameless placemark, these recepies look delicious

[Hero1callylost]

This one is the BEST!

Think it's the same as
70isalimitnotatarget and AnUtterIdiot's recipes

I've made 2 batches in the last fortnight, v popular in my house. They keep very well too.

Great as a desert - whizz in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and add schushy cream - HEAVEN!!

[ErgonomicallyUnsound]

CakeNinja - PUT THEM IN THE FRIDGE BEFORE YOU CUT THEM!!

The Nigel ones have just come out of the oven. They look immense. I'm leaving them in the tin to cool, and will treat myself to a huge one when I've come back from my run

We love Paul Hollywood's recipe. It is in his Baking book. It contains cranberries and walnuts which really offset the dark chocolate in a lovely way.

[PearSoup]

wolfcub the recipe is still there! You made me panic a bit there. Search "Best-ever brownies."

[charliedontsurf]

I make the Nigella ones and put in 2 chopped up big bars of milky bar . Also I half the quantity and use a smaller tin. It's never let me down!

Very easy recipe and they are delicious

[FankEweVeryMuch]

Forgot to say, the espresso (I just use instant coffee most of the time) is essential and I find white chocolate too sweet so use nuts or nothing.

[FankEweVeryMuch]

This is my best ever recipe from a good housekeeping () magazine my MIL got me in 2012.
It's my favourite recipe and I've tried hundreds!

[ChessieFL]

Hope you don't mind OP, I've asked for this to be moved to Food so it doesn't vanish! Am watching with interest and now have a nice long list of recipes to try!

[ErgonomicallyUnsound]

Oh and chocolate wise, the best one I've found is the Sainsburys Ecuador TTD 70% one. It's about two thirds the price of G & B - £1.40 think.

[ErgonomicallyUnsound]

NB I always put Nigel's ones in the fridge before I cut them for a good couple of hours, I keep them once cut in the fridge too.

They won't cut properly if they aren't refrigerated first.

[whisperitsoftly]

I second the Hugh F-W guardian recipe - lots of compliments when I make them.

[CakeNinja]

chapsie I don't think that's the same as the one from the book I've got, I'll check when I'm home.
The quantities don't look anywhere near nigellas overindulgent recipe though I suppose they could have halved it?

[HeavyFrost]

Good chocolate is definitely key, I think - poorer quality stuff does turn out unpleasantly greasy. If I'm making brownies or chocolate cake, I use Green and Black's 70%. And agree with Tondelaya on the magic of muscovado sugar in anything chocolate, too - it gives a real depth of flavour and a sort of dark fudginess. A dry, pale brownie is an abomination.

[Chapsie]

Interesting Cakeninja. Must be the chocolate, although I did find differing recipes online for the snow flecked ones so maybe the recipe had been transcribed wrong. I used
