Servings: 15 very large brownies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper, or aluminum foil and lightly grease. 
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  • Once almost melted, whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth and glossy. 
  • Remove from the heat and cool for at least 5 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla extract and salt.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs and sugar. 
  • Ensuring that the cocoa and butter mixture isn't hot, gently whisk the eggs and sugar into the cocoa mixture.
  • Gently fold the flour into the batter.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top looks set and an inserted toothpick comes out dry or with a few damp crumbs.
  • Cool fully (at least 4 hours) before cutting into the brownies. 

Notes

*All-purpose flour is also the same is "plain flour" in some countries. Measure the flour carefully. Whisk first, then spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the top. 1 1/4 cups weigh 156g.
