arantiaWith a recipe for three-ingredient brownies I found on Youtube :D
Ingredients:
One 200g jar of Nutella.
One large egg.
5 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
...that's all. You can throw in extras (the online recipe said hazelnuts, but I don't have them and couldn't be bothered with them) and I guess things like chocolate chips would be fine, but these are just the bare essentials.
Important apparatus: [ie that which I would have found handy when I was cooking]
- a flexible spatula to get out aaaaallll the Nutella from the jar.
- a deep pan. Mine was less than an inch deep, but about the size of a moleskine notebook, just a bit longer (I'd say maybe 12 inches by 6...?). Go for something smaller and deeper without straying into cake-tin territory. The batter comes out VERY thick and it's kind of hard to spread around :|
Method:
- Scoop out the nutella into a bowl. Add the egg. Whisk together until smooth and runny.
- Add the flour. Whisk together until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Dump entire mixture into a pan (lining it with baking parchment helps). Place in the centre of a preheated oven (180C, 350F) and check after about twelve minutes. Leave no longer than fifteen.
- A skewer or toothpick inserted into the centre should come out - and I quote - "covered in gooey promise."
- Leave to cool in the pan before turning/pulling/prising out and cutting into squares :D
...my shallow-pan brownies turned out delicious, but just lacking that extra bit of squidgy, fudgey goodness. Very good from just three ingredients, though :D
