You want them to be just barely done, less than you'd think. A bit raw in the middle is fine, they'll carry on cooking from their own heat once you take them out of the oven and you want them to still be gooey.Thank you!! They all look great so it's a hard decision think I will try the brownies and pray I don't overbake them!
By your own fair hands?

Again?
Brownies are good for taking to places because they still look appetising after you've chucked them in a tin and thrown that around in a bag or your car on the way there.
I use this recipe and people always ask me for it after they've tasted them (it works well with gluten free flour too if that's an issue)
110g unsalted butter
120g dark chocolate
200g light muscovado sugar
100g caster sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
100g plain flour
25g cocoa powder
100g chopped pecan nuts
Melt chocolate & butter in a bowl over a pan of water. Stir in sugar, leave to cool.
Add vanilla and salt. Beat eggs in one at a time.
Sift and fold in flour & cocoa, then nuts.
Pour into lined or silicone tray, bake for 20-25 mins at 200°C (knife test should still be a bit gooey when you take them out - they'll cook & set more but end up rock hard if you cook them too long because of all the sugar).
Leave to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Just made some bread rolls and I'm pretty happy with them considering I used plain flour.

I also made a roasted veg plait last weekend which went down a storm at a do we had.

It's become a bit of a favourite for us.I like the look of that veg plait
Sorry the laugh was for the final comment.Bakers of urban... most of my loaf cake recipes are for a 2lb tin. I've got 2 x 1lb tins.
Normally I halve the recipe and make one and wing it with the timing. But if the oven's on I'm going to make two!
So, if I split the batter between two 1lb tins, how much do I reduce the baking time by?
Plane takes off?
I actually went to a foraging walk and talk recently where the person leading it suggested that the origin of spells in folklore (as in repeat this verse 3 times while stirring the ingredients bubbling in a pot) originated due to the need to time before the era of clocks and watches how long to steep or simmer certain herbs to make a poultice or a medicinal brew, and if you repeated a particular thing x number of times it meant that the mixture had brewed for the appropriate amount of time. The length of the verse/litany and the number of repeats would provide an appropriate length of time to cook or brew the particular something that it was associated with.The same time as you normally wing it, plus the time it takes to sing a little song.
