How to Make the Best Brownies?

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup chocolate chunks (optional)
• Chocolate Sauce:
• (Melt two bars of chocolate with a can of plain cream — simmer with 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar.')

Method

1. Beat the eggs until foamy, then add the sugar while continuing to beat.
2. Add the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chunks and continue beating until the mixture is well combined. It will be a bit stiff.
3. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Pour the batter into a suitably sized pan greased with butter and a dusting of flour, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C.
4. The brownies will need about 30–40 minutes depending on your oven.

7. You can add a little milk if you want to thin the mixture.
