Preparation

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Butter and line a lamington tin.

Melt the butter and chocolate together by placing them in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water or in a microwave on low for 1–2 minutes. Beat the eggs, vanilla and caster sugar together until light and doubled in bulk. Sift the flour and salt together. Add the flour, melted chocolate and walnuts to the beaten eggs and mix to combine.

Pour into the prepared lamington tin and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Take care not to overcook the brownies or they will lose their deliciously gooey texture. Allow to cool before cutting.

Great Recipe

Just made these and they're great , it doesn't look dark enough when its all put together but when they come out they are perfect, would use a lot less walnuts than it says, a bit too much for me, also had to put them in for an extra 5 mins as the skewer was coming out a bit wet. very restaurant quality

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm

Not having made brownies before I found these to be very easy and absolutely yummy. I made them for morning tea at work, and I can say they didnt last very long at all. I did have to cook a little longer than was stated, but that may be because of my oven.
