White Chocolate Brownies
Ingredients
150g/1 cup plain flour
2.5ml/1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
175g/6oz fine quality white chocolate, chopped
90g/1/2 cup caster sugar
115g/1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2
eggs, lightly beaten
5mnl/1 tsp vanilla essence
175g/6oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
FOR THE
TOPPING
200g/7oz milk chocolate, chopped
215g/1 cup unsalted macadamias nuts, chopped
Method:
Preheat
the oven to 180C/350F /Gas 4. Grease a
23cm/9in spring form tin. Sift together the
flour, baking powder and salt, and set
aside.
In a medium
saucepan over a moderate heat, melt the white
chocolate, sugar and butter until smooth, stirring
frequently. Cool slightly, then beat in the eggs and
vanilla. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spread evenly
in the prepared tin, smoothing the top.
Bake for 20 - 25
minutes until a toothpick inserted 5cm/2in from the
side of the tin comes out clean. Remove from the
oven to a heatproof surface, sprinkle chopped milk
chocolate over the surface (avoid touching the side
of tin) and return to oven for 1 minute.
Remove from the
oven and, using the back of a spoon, gently spread
out the softened chocolate. Sprinkle with the
macadamia nuts and gently press into the chocolate.
Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes; chill for 1 hour.
Run a sharp knife around the side of the tin to
loosen; then unclip and remove. Cut into thin wedges
to serve.
