No otha’ bruthas’ can deny… and so on… What is about sweet things like big dirty chocolate cakes, drippy sticky toffee pudding, and oozing eclairs that always seem to grab people’s attention? I could write fresh and healthy recipes everyday for the rest of my life, and they would still never get the same reaction as the oooohing and aaaahing that a great big, filthy slice of gooey, dark chocolate brownie manages to draw. Some of the first recipes I ever cooke, were baking ones, and to this day it’s one of my favourite forms of cooking in the kitchen. I have cooked Swedish cinnamon buns to their death at this stage, but they have to be one of the best baking discoveries I’ve come across in the last 5 years.
I’ve had to start adapting them a little bit to keep people’s attention and when I was in Sweden this summer this verion got approval from the Swedes themselves, so you just know they’re going to be good! If you haven’t made these before, it’s basically a sweet bread dough which you roll out flat and spread with sweet butter and a filling of your choice, traditionally cinnamon, but in this case some roughly chopped dark chocolate. I haven’t convinced you to make the cinnamon variety, hopefully this chocolatey version will do the trick! Let me know how you get on!
