Nigel Slater's Choc Brownies

[aseriouslyblondemoment]

does anyone have a recipe to beat his?

Hummingbird Bakery ones I reckon will give any a run for their money.

interesting!!
dcs and dp will look forward to a bake-off lol

nonononononono!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have tried zillions of brownie recipes

the only one is Nige's. it outshines the others by miles.

The only other I'd consider, which is just very different, is Tana Ramsay's ones which are dark and white with mascarpone in. But a completely different animal.

There simply is no comparison - don't waste your precious time in trying

Agre eith the hummingbird bakery suggestion. (So easy to make, come out right every time and are the perfect consistency and taste gorgeous).
However, I am yet to experience Nigel Slater's.

msrisotto - once you've tasted Nige's, there's no going back..............

I am easily tempted. Just saw a description of them as 'as fudgy as Glastonbury mud'. I am sold.

Nigellas are good. Slater recipe please.

Jamie Oliver's recipe is the best IMO from his Cook with Jamie book. I have made the Nigel Slater ones but they didn't hit the spot quite the same.

I make JO's ones regularly and they are fab, so easy to make, really gooey and intensely chocolatey.

Nige's ones musn't be overcooked. I find they need 26 and a half minutes ( not that I make them incredibly regularly or anything...)

recipe here

Haven't tried the Hummingbird Bakery recipe, but nothing has ever come close to Slater's brownies. There are no words.

THIS is my fav brownie recipe. I have made them lots. I took some into work last week and have people asking for the recipe - think I may keep it a secret

looks like nige's win then
tc i might well have a look at tana ramsay's recipe
scnitzel which particular nigella brownie please?
pfv have that recipe in my goodfood file but never tried it
out of interest has anyone ever tried freezing nige's brownies?

Nigella recipe (from How to be a Domestic Goddess):

375 g soft unsalted butter
375 g best quality dark chocolate
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
500 g caster sugar
225 g plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
300 g chopped walnuts

Directions
1Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2Line your approximatley 33 x 23 x 5 1/2cm brownie pan with foil or baking paper.
3Melt the butter and chocolate together in a large heavy based saucepan.
4In a bowl beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla.
5Measure the flour into another bowl and add the salt.
6When the chocolate mixture has melted, let it cool a bit before beating in the eggs and sugar mixture, and then the nuts and flour.
7Beat to combine and then scrape out of the saucepan into the lined brownie pan.
8Bake for about 25 minutes.
9When its's ready, the top should be dried to a paler brown speckle, but the middle still dark and dense and gooey.
10Keep checking the brownies as they cook; remember that they will continue to cook as they cool.

Nigel is God, and God doesn't get brownies wrong.

Nope nope nope.

Oh God. I have all those ingredients in the house right now. It's 11.20. I want brownies.

I've made them.They were lush.

ahh that one snitzel
have never tried it tho i have the book
thanks for posting the recipe tho
hellymelly you haven't devoured them all have you?!

blonde - the tana one is in real family food if you can't find it can post recipe

I have never frozen them but I keep them in the fridge. They are good in an airtight container in fridge for at least a week. They've never lasted beyond that here - too greedy!

thanks so much TC
i think that i might try freezing them purely out of curiosity as they'd be a handy pud to have a supply of whether for ourselves or for those last min cake sales that they always seem to be having at dcs'school
looks like i'll be making a second batch this week then as yesterday's will no doubt be polished off later
am currently making a couple of tana ramsey's drizzle cakes for the school fair and am also contemplating the cappucino cakes from this month's 'good food'

I've yet to taste a brownie more delish than Suzywong's recipe

some serious baking going on in the blonde household!

I imagine they would freeze very well as they are so dense. Do let us know!

TC i have three little darlings all bearing paper plates with 'please can you fill me'written on them
will report back about freezing nige's brownies
madre is suzy wong's recipe available online?

suzywong was (is?) a mumsnetter so a quick search on here should find you a thread with her recipe

they are SCRUMMY

fantastic!
will have a nosey
