Snow-flecked Brownies

Recipe from Nigella Lawson's FEAST

375g butter
375g semi-sweet or bitter sweet chocolate
6 eggs
0.5 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon Vanilla extract
1.5 cups + 2 Tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
250g white chocolate buttons
2 teasppons icing sugar (for dusting)


1. Melt butter and dark chocloate in a panover low heat

2. Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla extract together.

3. Allow the chocolate mixture cool a little before adding to the egg mixture and beat well.

4. Fold in flour and salt. Then stir in white chocolate.

5. Line 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan with aluminium foil

6. Pour the brownie mixture into the pan and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees Farenheit (190 degrees Celsius)

7. After cutting into bite sized pieces, sprinkle with icing sugar to give the 'snow-flecked' effect.


FEEDBACK:


The brownies are quite sweet. Therefore I cut down the sugar to half a cup. It is because the dark and white chocolates are already quite sweet. Even after 25 minutes, the mixture may still be 'woobly'. But once it is cool down, the brownies will set and be hardened.


It is like the Western version of Kek Batik without the biscuits.
