MILK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

milk-brownies
 These brownies are delicious ! The crunchy flakes of fleur de sel and  the sweetness of the milk chocolate, and a touch of cocoa powder adds richness and depth to this treat.


  • 1/2 cup (115 g) butter
  • 350 grs milk chocolate 
  • 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • face3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons (80 g) all-purpose flour
  • a pinch of fleur de sel
 Preheat oven to180°C. Line the bottom and sides of a20 cm square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment Set aside.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter on low heat. Add milk chocolate and cook over low heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth and shiny. Remove from heat, add cocoa powder and salt, stir, and set aside to cool.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat eggs and sugar at high speed until pale and fluffy, 8-10 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and add melted-chocolate mixture and the vanilla; beat until combined. Slowly add flour and beat just until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the brownies begin to pull away from the edges of the pan. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with only a few moist crumbs when the brownies are done.  Sprinkle the surface of the brownies with a pinch of fleur de sel. Allow them to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift the foil out of the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into squares.

Enjoy it !
