Tasty treats part 1- Brownies.

Today some tasty teatime/ lunchtime/ whenever you're peckish treats.
First up, some rather tasty chocolate and dulce de leche brownies. For these you will need-

140g Butter
200g Soft brown / muscavado sugar
200g Chocolate
85g Plain flour
A pinch of salt
3 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
A can of condensed milk

First up- Pop the oven on to preheat to 160c
Then get started by melting together the butter and chocolate, either over a double boiler or in 30 second bursts in the microwave so it goes from this

To this-

Add the sugar and mix that in well,

Then one by one add the eggs, mixing them in thoroughly, then the flour, making sure everything is incorporated thoroughly into a smooth batter-

Pour half into a lined and greased tray-

then add dollops of the dulce de leche around it. To make this you simply drop your can of condensed milk unopened into a pan full of simmering water and leave it for about 2 1/2-3 hours. Don't worry, so long as you keep the water topped up and don't let it boil dry the can won't explode.-

Then run a knife through it, marbling the caramel into the chocolate, before adding the other half of the batter. Repeat with the marbling on the top if you want to, don't if you don't.

Pop into the oven for 40-45 minutes until a skewer poked into the middle comes out with crumbs rather than batter sticking to it-

chop into bits and nom down with a cup of tea. Or coffee. Your choice, I'm not here to judge-
