White Chocolate Brownie

Brownies to me are usually, well, brown. I never thought of a brownie that is not 'brown' until I saw this recipe from Nicole's 'The Baking Bites Cookbook'.

I had it bookmarked and added to my 'to-bake' list. Tried doing this and turned out really yummy, especially if you like white chocolates.

(my notes in red)

makes a 9" square pan

Ingredients:

1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter

6 oz (170g) white chocolate, chopped

2 eggs

1 cup (145g) plain flour

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

6 oz (170g) dark chocolate, chopped into chunks

Method:

1. Melt butter and white chocolate in a bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Stir till smooth and set aside.

2. Sieve together flour and baking powder. Mix in salt and set aside.

3. In a large bowl, beat together eggs and sugar. Add in vanilla extract and continue to beat till well mixed.

4. When the white chocolate mixture has cooled down, stir in the egg-sugar mixture till well combined.

5. Add in sifted flour mixture over the chocolate mixture and stir until just combined with no streaks of flour remaining.

6. Stir in the dark chocolate chunks and pour the batter into a lined 9" square pan.

7. Bake in preheated oven at 180C for 30-35 minutes or when an inserted skewer comes out clean.

8. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
