Post: # 114506Post sleepyowl »

16oz plain flour
10oz butter (it works with vegan alternatives too)
10oz brown sugar
4tbsp cocoa
1tsp of vanilla extract (not essence)

Set oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4, cream the butter & sugar together, sift in the flour & cocoa, knead into a dough & ad the vailla essence & knead some more, grease & line a baking tray, flatten out dough on baking tray, sprinkle with caster sugar & place in the oven for 20 minutes, cut into fingers before fully cooled, serves 8 if you let it & don't start stabbing people with a fork to stop them eating it

Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

oooh looks fab. I think i'll have to make some to take into work on Tuesday. I also see a day's baking coming up!

Got to make cinnamon rolls, brownies and cupcakes.

Going to look for a solid looking chocolate fudge browie recipe. I've made normal brownies before, but i want the sickly solid fudgy ones this time!
