M E T H O D

•  Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C) and grease and line an 8-inch square pan with baking paper. Let the paper hang from two sides so it is easier to pull out the brownies.
•  Use a double boiler to melt chocolate and butter. If you don’t have a double boiler, then in a heatproof bowl resting over another pot of barely simmering water, melt chocolate and butter, stirring gently. Remove from heat and stir in sugar and vanilla.
•  Stir in eggs, one at a time. Stir in sifted flour and salt. Fold in white and milk chocolate chips.
•  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes (or longer), until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out clean.
•  Let the brownies cool in the pan for 30 minutes before taking it out. Keep it on a wire rack to cool.
•  They might look a little soft in the centre but as they cool, they will become fudgy.
