This is a recipe post. For an event I needed to make brownies for 100 people, so this time I decided to write down what I was doing, so that they would be sort-of-consistent. I even weighed things.

Melt (e.g. in the microwave):

  • 200g pure chocolate (Jumbo store brand is acceptable in the Netherlands)
  • 130g margarine (Blue Band)

Stir in:

  • 150g sugar (e.g. brown basterd sugar for extra flavor)
  • pinch of salt (this is one I often forget)

Mix in:

  • 4 eggs (one by one, and use an electric mixer; run it long, so that the batter becomes glossy)
  • 70g cocoa powder
  • 60g flour

In the oven at 180℃ for 35 minutes or so. Optionally, add pecans.

This recipe is based on my interpretation of “Jamie Oliver Brownies”, which are all over the net – the original version is kind of picky, and what I do here works repeatedly in my kitchen.
