Rub a baking dish with the teaspoon of unsalted butter and put it aside until needed later. Bring a small pan of water to a boil over medium heat. Put a larger heat-resistant glass bowl on top. Break the dark chocolate up into smaller pieces. Chop up the unsalted butter. Add both the chocolate chunks and the butter to the glass bowl and let them melt over the boiling water (bain marie).
Stir well until you get a glossy chocolate mix. Break the eggs in another bowl and add the caster sugar. Stir into a smooth mixture.
Remove the bowl of melted chocolate from the boiling water, let it cool for 5 minutes and then add the eggs and sugar mixture.
Stir very well and add the the pastry flour.
Season with a tiny pinch of salt. Stir the chocolate batter one last time. Don’t beat the eggs too much, the batter has to stay airy and light to make the brownies light.
Pour the chocolate batter in the buttered baking dish. Out the dish in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) and bake the brownies for 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the middle to check. It should come out clean. If the centre is not set yet, put the dish back into the hot oven and bake the brownies for another 5 minutes. Don’t overcook the brownies. Once cooked, remove the brownies from the oven. Leave it to cool in its tin. Cut the brownies up into smaller pieces. Ready to serve!
