Hello!

This is how to make delicious chocolate brownies

yeah i got the recipe from YouTube but i have made them myself

Recipe:

Ingredients:

Make sure you have these things:
(for reference, I have also added the yt video at the specific times :D )

• Butter: 1 cup (226g), cubed
• Cocoa powder: 3/4 cup (75g) cocoa powder (make sure its dutch processed - it tastes SO good)
• Sugar: 2 cups (400g) granliated sugar
• Espresso powder: 1 tbsp, optional (idk since ive never put espresso in my brownies before i skipped this)
• Eggs: 3 large eggs at room temperature
• Vanilla extract: 1tbsp (yeah you add vanilla in chocolate)
• Salt: 1tbsp sea salt
• Chocolate: 1 and a half cups (270g) chopped chocolate (save a handful for the top!)
• Flour: 1 cup (120g) all purpose flour
• Toppings: Optional flaked sea salt (ik the video says salt but tbh add anything you like)

Instructions:

(once again, I added yt references so that you can see visually too)

1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper
   (remember - please do this so that you dont wait for 30m after you make the batter like I did)


2. Melt Butter: melt the cubed butter until fully liquid
   (for your safety make sure to do it in 20sec bursts so the butter doesn't pop in the microwave)


3. Bloom Cocoa: sift the cocoa in hot butter and then also add the sugar and espresso (optional)
   (whisk vigorously for about a minute, when the sugar dissolves you'll get that signature crackly top)


4. Add Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the eggs, vanilla and salt
   (mix until the mixture is mixed velvety)


5. Fold in the dry ingredients: sift in the flour, add majority of chocolate and gently fold with a spatula
   (and make sure not to eat any during the process like I did and DO NOT OVERMIX, pls itll go bad)


6. Bake: sprinkle the rest of the chocolate and sea salt (and whatever else you have)
   (dont be like me and finish the remaining chocolate and then theres nothing - remember you'd rather eat the full brownie than just a bit of chocolate right?)


7. Timing: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes
   Start 35:00 Timer
• For a fudgy brownie, a skewer should come out with a lot of crumbs when you test
• For a cakey brownie, the skewer should only come out with a few crumbs


8. Cool: when you take them out, wait
   (and please dont burn yourself they are really hot)


9. Enjoy!: why are you still reading this eat the brownie
