How to make Masterchef Brownies

The title pretty much speaks for itself I guess. I am an avid watcher of the series, Masterchef Australia, and also a pretty keen brownie baker. I had a brownie recipe I generally used but something was missing from it and I couldn't figure out what, so I spent hours scouring the vast amounts of information supplied to me by the internet, but none of the recipes struck my bakers eye. Then one day, I happened to turn on the television while a Masterclass ( a cooking class if yo are unfamiliar with the show) was being taught - and yes, they were baking brownies. Mmmm mmmm, finally a recipe I could trust! So I grabbed my phone ( because paper and a pen were in a faraway location) and hurriedly typed the recipe in, knowing that these were the brownies I had been looking for. Today, I am going to share that recipe with you so that you can bake confidently knowing your brownies are the best. No exaggerating there.

RECIPE FOR GREATEST BROWNIES IN THE WORLD.

What you need : 250g Butter
                        : 90g Cocoa Powder
                        : 2 and 1/3 cups Castor Sugar

                        : 1/2 tsp baking powder, sifted

                        : Dark chocolate and nuts, chopped ( However much you want)

* Can also add cherries or pieces of fudge for an extra flare

Method: Preheat oven to 160"C
            : Melt the butter and mix it with the castor sugar and cocoa powder.
            : Add eggs one at a time while mixing
            : Add the flour and baking powder and mix well
            : Lastly, add the nuts and chocolate
            : Line a baking tray with baking paper and pour batter in.
            : Place in oven for approx, 35 min
            : Remove from oven, leave to cool, tip over gently onto a plate and cut as desired.

* Brownies should be firm on the outside and soft in the middle.


Hope you enjoy making these delicious treats because baking is always an adventure!
