In the US and Canada love brownies. Especially children (eating, drinking milk). It is sold in all the cafes and pastry, and American economic and bake their own.
I decided to spend one of them and baked brownie.
Brownies baked like a cake or a cupcake, it is crisp, but inside he must remain moist as nougat. Looking ahead, I will say that the last I did not work - slightly overexposed in the oven. But still it came out very tasty.
So, to prepare the brownies, you will need:
Chocolate - 100 gr. (Preferably black);
Butter - 180 gr .;
Sugar - 200 gr .;
Eggs - 4 pcs .;
Flour - 100 gr .;
Walnuts - 100 g.

The first thing you need to melt the chocolate and butter.
The recipe is written - in a water bath. But I have my way.
Housekeeping tip: with the functions of "water bath" copes microwave. Place the chocolate and butter in a special form and send in the microwave for 1 minute at maximum t º.
Pulling out of the microwave, chocolate butter cream should be thoroughly mixed.
Then, in a separate bowl, beat the sugar and eggs. Whipping can whisk can mixer. I prefer a blender.
So far, I beat the eggs and sugar, had to cool chocolate. It is necessary to stir in 100 grams of flour.
After that, I joined the chocolate and egg-cream mixture.
The final touch - in the same blender to grind nuts and add them to the dough.

Housekeeping tip. On top of the parchment recommend grease with vegetable oil.
Then everything is simple - poured the batter into the pan, and praying, I went into the oven.
The recipe has been said: "Bake for 25-30 minutes." My experience has shown that if you want the very, wet, midway, it is best to get the brownies from the oven after 20 minutes.
Step 3 - Help yourself
Thanks to the baking paper, Brown could very easily be removed from the mold. After that I sent my dessert on the windowsill - cool.
When the brownies cool, I cut it into small rectangles.
According to the classic recipe brownies sprinkled on top apricot glaze. But I just sprinkled with powdered sugar.
The taste of the brownie cake really does not cake or cookies. Something in between. Moderately sweet, not cloying, sweet relish attach nuts. In short, delicious.
Brownies served with ice cream, tea or coffee. I especially liked the coffee. :)
