Quick and easy brownies

It's back to school for the Junior JibberJabbers this week. This means homework, after school clubs and less time for cooking! There's always time for treats though and after hard work rewards are required. I've been making brownies to a certain recipe for years but according to Miss and Master JibberJabber they are so good that the recipe can't be shared! For days when I need a recipe which cooks slightly quicker and doesn't need so many ingredients I use this one.

Equipment: 9in x 13in (22cm x 33cm) baking tin lined, large bowl, electric whisk/beaters.

Ingredients

8oz (220g) Plain flour

14oz (400g) Caster sugar

½ tsp (2.5ml) Salt

2oz (55g) Cocoa powder

10 fl oz (280ml) Sunflower oil
4 Eggs

2tsp (10ml) Vanilla extract

2oz (55g) Plain chocolate, broken into pieces

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/Gas mark 4.

2. Mix all the ingredients together except the plain chocolate until it is one smooth mixture.

3. Transfer to the tin and smooth the top.

4. Cook for 10 minutes and then sprinkle the plain chocolate on top.

5. Cook for a further 20 minutes and leave to cool in the tin.
