This is the brownie recipe we use most. It is from Nigella Lawson's "How To Be a Domestic Goddess". My Dear Daughter who is not a Goddess in the kitchen sure has success with this recipe. So I thought I would share this recipe with you in case you to have a domestic challenged loved one in your kitchen.

    These are the best brownies ever, I make them all the time and my friends, family and work colleagues love them! Brilliant with the white chocolate buttons. Some advice, never leave the walnuts out because they really give something to the texture. Never be tempted to overcook them as the gooeyness is the best bit, and they dry out a little the longer you store them - not that they are ever around that long in my house!

    I just saw Nigella Lawson prepare this recipe on TV and had to give it a go. It was just so easy to prepare and the brownies were perfectly 'squishy' in the middle. As Nigella said on her program "a brownie can never be too squishy in the middle". I am preparing a swag of them for Christmas day (any excuse for chocolate). On TV she added a handful of white chocolate buttons to the warm mix just before baking, I did the same for that extra gooey chocolate kick! Brilliant!
