Yummy....

On Safari we were able to eat some pretty incredible food, and one of Darren and my favorites was the chocolate brownies the last day. So I asked for the recipe...

Toffee Brownies
350g dark chocolate(broken)
250g unsalted butter(cut into pieces)
3 large eggs
250g dark mascavado sugar
85g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder

1.)Butter and line the base of a shallow 23cm square tin. Melt butter and chocolate together and stir well and cool.
2.) Whisk eggs until pale then whisk in sugar until thick and and glossy, well combined. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture, then sift in the in the flour and baking powder and gently mix until smooth.
3.) Pour mixture into prepared cake tin and bake for 30-35 minutes or until firm to touch.
4.) Remove from the oven and allow cooling for at least 1 hour. Cut and serve;-)


Now for all of you bakers in the US have fun converting the metric units to US customary measurements...and you probably noticed that there is not a temperature listed to set the oven for, that is because everyone here cooks in propane ovens, can't really regulate temperature on those.

So we were wondering if anyone was up to it, if you could make these wonderful brownies and meet us at the airport next Thursday when we return...(wink-wink-Eric-you know who you are;-))

I'm more concerned about finding MASCAVADO chocolate!! They do sound great!! I have figured out some of it - the pan is 9X9 - 350g is approx 12 oz - 250g is approx 9oz - 85g is approx 3oz - 3 oz of flour just does seem like enough, but who knows!! I'll have Diego and Izabella at the airport to meet you, maybe someone else can have the brownies!!! Love Mom
