Triple Chocolate Brownies
- 3 sticks plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 12 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate
- 6 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups superfine sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate buttons, chips, or morsels
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate buttons, chips or morsels
- Approximately 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar, for garnish
- Special equipment: Baking tin (approximately 11 1/4 inches by 9 inches by 2 inches), sides and base lined with baking parchment.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a large heavy based pan over a low heat.
- In a bowl or large measuring jug, beat the eggs together with the superfine sugar and vanilla extract.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to cool a little, then add the egg and sugar mixture and beat well.
- Fold in the flour and salt.
- Then stir in the white chocolate buttons or chips, and the semisweet chocolate buttons or chips.
- Beat to combine then scrape and pour the brownie mixture into the prepared tin.
- Bake for about 25 minutes.
- You can see when the brownies are ready because the top dries to a slightly paler brown speckle, while the middle remains dark, dense and gooey.
- Even with such a big batch you do need to keep checking on it: the difference between gooey brownies and dry ones is only a few minutes.
- Remember, too, that they will continue to cook as they cool.
- To serve, cut into squares while still warm and pile up on a large plate, sprinkling with confectioners' sugar pushed with a teaspoon through a small sieve.
