Chocolate Walnut Brownie Recipe (3 Step Recipe)

• Step 1: Grease a baking tin and dust with maida. Preheat oven to 180o C. Sieve together maida, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
• Step 2: Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold the sieved ingredients of step 1 into the above mixture, alternating with the milk and Nestlé MILKMAID. Add chopped walnuts. Mix well & pour into a greased tin.
• Step 3: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the centre of the Brownies springs back when lightly pressed. Let the cake cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into slices as desired.

Tips to make Brownies

• The better the chocolate, the better the brownies. Use high-quality cocoa powder.
• Sift the maida, cocoa, and baking powder together, as mentioned in the Brownies recipe above.
• Refrigerating the batter for an hour before baking can give your Brownies a denser, fudgier texture.
• The butter and sugar mix must be light and creamy to ensure the Brownies fluff well.
• Ensure you add the eggs one at a time, beating them well after each addition.
• Add nuts, chocolate chips, or swirls of caramel to make your Brownies extra special.

FAQs on Brownies

1. Can I add nuts or other mix-ins to the homemade Brownies recipe?

Yes, certainly. Adding nuts, such as walnuts, or other mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit to the Brownies recipe is a popular choice to enhance the texture and flavour of homemade Brownies (you can add them to the batter before baking). Don't hesitate to get creative and try combinations to cater to your unique taste preferences.

2. How can I achieve a fudgy texture of homemade Brownies?

For a fudgy texture in homemade brownies, be sure not to overbake them. Begin checking for doneness a few minutes before the given baking time. The centre should be set but still slightly underdone when you insert a toothpick. Additionally, using a higher fat ratio to flour and incorporating ingredients like melted chocolate in the Brownies recipe can contribute to a fudgier texture.

3. Why are my Brownies fluffy?

Fluffy Brownies can result from several factors, such as overmixing the batter, using a leavening agent like baking powder, or incorporating more air during mixing. Additionally, the ratio of ingredients, like eggs and flour, and the baking temperature can contribute to the light and airy texture of Brownies.

4. How can I store homemade Brownies?

Once your homemade brownies have completely cooled, store them in an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap to keep them from drying out. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 4 days. For a fudgier texture, refrigerate them, but be sure to let them come to room temperature before serving.
