Step 1

Preheat the oven to 160C. Grease a 20cm square metal cake tin and line with baking parchment

Step 2

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt

Step 3

Place the butter, sugar, and milk in a pan over a low heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the sugar is fully dissolved. It should be hot but not yet boiling.

Step 4

Remove the pan from the heat and add the vanilla extract and chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted.

Step 5

Add the sifted dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. Gently stir through the chocolate ships, don't mix it too much at this point as you don't want them to melt into the batter

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared tin and spread it level. Bake for about 20 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out gunky with moist crumbs but no web batter. If it comes out clean they are over-done so be careful not to leave them in too long.

Step 7

Leave the brownies to cool completely in the tin before slicing them. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
