Expert Tips for Best results!
- Melt the butter and sugar together – This helps create that signature crinkly top, so don’t skip it!
- Don’t overmix the dry ingredients – Gently fold them in until just combined to keep the brownie soft and gooey.
- Use good-quality cocoa powder – A rich, high-quality cocoa makes all the difference in flavour because it mostly relies on the cocoa powder for chocolate flavour.
- Watch the baking time – Ovens vary, so check at 18 minutes. The centre should be set but still have moist crumbs on a toothpick.
- Don’t forget the toppings – A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate takes it to the next level.
