Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180C. Line base and sides of a deep 20 cm-square cake tin with baking paper. Brush with melted butter. To remove skins from nuts, put nuts on an oven tray and put in oven for 10 minutes. Remove and put on a clean tea towel. Fold tea towel over to cover nuts and rub with your hands. Skins should peel off. Then chop nuts roughly.
  2. Chop butter and put in a medium heavy-based pan. Roughly chop chocolate and add to the pan. Stir butter and chocolate mixture constantly over a low heat until both have melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove pan from heat and leave to cool.
  3. Put eggs, sugar and vanilla into the small bowl of an electric mixer, and beat until mixture is thick and pale. Sift flour and cocoa onto a sheet of baking paper. Add sifted flour and cocoa, hazelnuts and cooled chocolate mixture to egg mixture. Use a large metal spoon to fold in.
  4. Gently spoon mixture into prepared tin. Spread mixture to edges of tin. Gently shake to settle mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove tin from oven and stand it on a wire rack to cool. When cold, remove brownies from tin and cut into squares. Dust with cocoa just before serving.
