Ingredients
For the caramel sauce
- 50 g caster sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- 30 g unsalted butter
- 100 ml double cream
- 1 tsp flaky salt
For the brownie
- 175 g unsalted butter
- 175 g dark chocolate
- 2 free-range eggs
- 150 g caster sugar
- 90 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 30 g salted pretzels
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 160°C/Gas Mark 2. Prepare two 18x11cm (7x4in) foil baking trays by lining them with greaseproof paper.
2
To make the caramel, add the caster sugar and 2 tbsp water to a pan. Bring to the boil on the hob to dissolve the sugar until golden –but don’t stir it!
3
Remove from the heat, then add the butter, double cream and salt. Set aside to chill for 20 minutes.
4
Add the eggs and sugar to the bowl of a free-standing mixer and beat for 5 minutes.
5
Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, then allow to cool slightly.
6
Once the egg mixture is thick and pale, fold in the chocolate gently. Tip in the flour and baking powder, stir to combine, then pour into the prepared baking trays.
7
Spoon over the cooled caramel and swirl to decorate. Top with pretzels, then bake for 25 minutes.
