Easiest ever Chocolate Brownies!

This is a very popular recipe in our house and one I don't mind making because it is so easy!

Ingredients
175g Butter
200g Dark Chocolate
325g Caster Sugar
130g Plain Flour
3 Eggs
icing sugar to decorate

Preheat oven to 170C. Line a square or rectangular tin with baking paper, don't worry too much about neatness, I just lay it over then press into the sides of the tin.

Melt Chocolate and butter together in a large bowl set over a pan of simmering water (or if you are lazy like me do it in the microwave!:) ) stir well to combine then add the sugarand stir well - it will look like a lot of sugar for the chocolate but it is the right amount. Add the flour and stir then finally stir in the eggs and mix until the mixture is smooth. Pour into lined tin smooth out and bake for 30-35 minutes. When ready cracks should be appearing across the top and the top should crack if you press it lightly with your finger. Remove from oven and rest in tin for 5 minutes. Remove from tin by holding a chopping board over the tin and turning it over, remove tin and lining paper then place another chopping board on top and turn back over. Leave to cool then cut into squares and dust with Icing sugar.
