    Title: Hfw Star Anise Chocolate Brownies
    Categories: Brownies
    Yield: 12 Brownies

    120 g Unsalted butter; cut into
    -chunks
    120 g Dark chocolate, about 70%;
    -broken into pieces
    120 g Caster sugar
    100 g Light muscovado sugar
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract
    2 Eggs
    130 g Plain flour
    1/2 ts Orange zest; finely grated
    1 ts Ground star anise
    1 pn Salt; generous

    Use a coffee grinder or pestle and mortar to grind whole star anise
    into a fine powder.

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6. Butter a 20 cm square
    brownie tin and line the bottom and two sides with a strip of baking
    parchment that's long enough to hang over the sides (to make it
    easier to lift the brownie out of the tin).

    In a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the
    butter and chocolate, and stir until smooth. Add the sugars, leave
    for a couple of minutes, then add the vanilla and beat well. Add the
    eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. Stir in the flour,
    orange zest, star anise and salt.

    Pour the mix into the tin, smooth and bake for 20 minutes, until the
    top is crackled and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out
    with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Plunge the base of the tin
    into a bowl of iced water to stop it cooking, then leave to cool in
    the tin for 30 minutes, lift out and finish cooling on a rack.
