Walnut Cinnamon Brownie

Ingredients

• 1 cupMaida
• 1 tspBaking powder
• 2 tbspCocoa powder
• 1 cupMelted butter
• 1 cupMelted dark chocolate
• 1/2 cupMilk
• 1/2 cupMilkmaid
• 1/2 cupCaster or powdered sugar
• 1/2 cupWalnuts, chopped
• 1 tspVanilla essence
• a pinchSalt
• a pinchCinnamon powder

Method

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a square 8-inch tin.

2. 2

   Sieve maida, baking powder, cocoa, salt and cinnamon.

3. 3

   In a bowl, whisk melted butter, melted chocolate, milkmaid, milk, sugar and vanilla until smooth.

4. 4

   Fold dry into wet. The batter will be thick.

5. 5

   Pour into the tin. Scatter chopped walnuts on top.

6. 6

   Bake at 170°C for 35–40 minutes. The top should crackle but the centre should still feel fudgy under finger-pressure.

7. 7

   Cool fully in the tin before cutting — brownies firm up as they cool.
