DARTH VADER'S RECIPE CORNER

They didn't even ask me any questions...

add a couple of drops of distilled midichlorians

Vader: Domestic Goddess

Coruscentian Chocolate Brownies

A new occasional feature where the galaxy's favourite dark lord, Darth Vader reveals some of his favourite nibbles. Be afraid.

Not since the days before the clone wars have I felt a rumbling in my leather corset like I feel today - which means, rebel scum, that the time has come to reveal my favourite recipe for chocolate brownies.

I am here, both to put you back on schedule and help you make some deliciously crumbly baked goods. These brownies are a perfect afternoon treat or an energy booster before heading out on a spree of evil-doing or skulduggery.

I sense something. An essence I've not felt since...

The ingredients are as follows:

225g (8oz) of soft margerine

100g (3.5oz) of walnut pieces

110g (4oz) of plain chocolate

170g (6oz) of plain flour

400g (14oz) of caster sugar

4 eggs

2.5ml of salt

10ml vanilla essence

0.0002ml midichlorian

2.5ml of baking powder

100g (3.5oz) of chocolate chips

Follow the path to the dark sticky side

To make a teatime treat worthy of the Emperor himself, do the following:

Melt the margarine and chocolate together (simply dip your lightsabre in the pan). Remove heat, add sugar and mix well (find a minion to do this). Add the vanilla, eggs and chocolate chips. Sith the baking powder with flour and salt and fold the flour into the chocolate mixture. Finally add a microdrop of midichlorian solution to give them that little extra "something".

Pour into a 23cm square or circle pan lightly greased with Ewok lard.

Bake at 160 degrees for fifty minutes.

Remove them from the oven and place on a rack for several hours (electro-shock torture optional).

Now, turn them to the dark side and give a light dusting of icing sugar.

There is a disturbance in the sauce

These are delicious served with a light creme-anglais, some home-made ice cream or even some indulgent thick toffee sauce. Alternatively you can let them harden and then levitate them using the force and pelt approaching rebel armies with them in the field of battle. Your choice.
