Cook's notes
Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.
Instructions
1. To give as a gift, layer the dry ingredients in a jar, and give with a copy of the instructions.
2. To make brownies, pre-heat oven to 160°C. Line the base of an 18 cm x 28 cm cake tin with baking paper.
3. Place all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and gently mix in eggs and softened butter until it makes a very thick batter.
Pour batter into lined cake tin and smooth the top with a small offset spatula.
4. Bake for 30 minutes or until firm and a knife inserted in the centre comes out cleanly.
5. Leave in tin to cool completely and then cut into 18 pieces.
