Helpful tips and tricks
Melt the butter at low temperature, I know it takes longer but then you won’t have to let it cool before you add the eggs. Believe me, you don’t want to have scramble eggs in your brownies.
I was always told to never overmix brownie batter so, to keep me from over doing it I like to whisk the eggs and dry ingredients separately. That way I don’t have to stir too much trying to get rid of the lumps in the cocoa powder.
These brownies are very rich as you can imagine, that is why I like to go a little heavy on the salt, but the amount you put in is your choice, you could totally skip it if you don’t like the sweet and salty combo. Just have fun with this recipe! These brownies are so good there’s no way they won’t be delicious.
