Where to find ingredients
You can find semi-sweet chocolate bars and all-purpose flour at any major grocery store here in Belize. Unsalted butter and granulated sugar are also standard pantry staples. Large eggs are readily available at local markets and supermarkets. Walnuts are usually found in the baking aisle or the nut section of larger grocery stores. If you can't find walnuts, pecans or even almonds can be used as a substitute, though the flavour will be slightly different.
Preparation method
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave, then let it cool slightly
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and walnuts, and set aside
- Cream the softened butter with the vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous
- Add the granulated sugar to the butter cream and continue beating
- Incorporate the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition
- Stir the melted chocolate into the batter
- Gently fold in the reserved dry ingredients
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan
- Bake in a medium oven until done
- Cut the brownies into squares while still warm
- Allow to cool completely before serving
Observations
This recipe yields traditional brownies with a perfect balance of sweetness from the sugar and intensity from the chocolate. The secret to success is beating the butter well with the initial ingredients to ensure a smooth texture.
