navidad collection 001Ingredients:

150g  flour

5 eggs

150g  nuts crushed  (hazel, macademia, your choice)

320g  butter

210g sugar

225g dark chocolate 70% cacao

1 drop vanilla

pinch of salt

Vanilla ice cream(optional)

Procedure :
Begin by chopping the nuts roughly, not too small, then place them on a baking sheet and toast them in a pre-heated oven (160ºC) for 8 minutes exactly. Please use a timer here otherwise you’ll be throwing burned nuts away all day! While the nuts are cooking, put the chocolate ,butter, and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl fitted over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water.

Allow the chocolate to melt, then beat it until smooth, remove it from the heat. add in the egg and salt, mix it well then flour and sugar, stir in all together until thoroughly blended. Now spread the mixture evenly into the prepared tin and bake on the centre shelf of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until it’s slightly springy in the centre. Remove the tin from the oven and leave it to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into roughly 15 squares. Then, using a palette knife, transfer the squares on to a wire rack to finish cooling.
