This recipe was given to me by my Sous Chef Carl who claims they were given to him by Lucy. Wherever the recipe originates from they are simply superb and were so poular during the winter of 2007/2008 that we had to start hiding them from the staff!!

Ingredients

250g unsalted butter
250g good quality dark chocolate
500g caster sugar
4 eggs
250g flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt

Method

Preheat oven to 170 degrees.
Grease a brownie tin and line with baking paper

Put 250g of unsalted butter and 250g of plain chocolate into a saucepan and melt on medium heat.
