Walnut Brownies recipe

Ingredients
175 gms dark chocolate (cooking chocolate)
175 gms butter
200 gms sugar (castor)
3-4 eggs
65 gms flour
25 gms walnuts (chopped)

Separate the egg whites and the yolks. Beat the egg whites till they are stiff, preferably with an electric eggbeater. Whisk in the yolks and on a slow flame melt butter in a non-stick pan. Add the broken pieces of chocolate, also add in the castor sugar. Mix all these ingredients while the pan is still on the gas. When the chocolate has completely melted, remove from gas. Cool it down a little bit. Add in the flour. Fold in the egg whites and then the egg yolks. By this time you will have a water-like consistency. Add in the chopped walnuts. Grease a baking tin and dust it with flour. Pour the entire mixture in the tin. Preheat the oven and bake at 180 degree C or at 350 F for about 35 to 40 minutes till done. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.
