Transcript

I got so many DMs about this brownie recipe. It's shiny and crispy on the outside and chewy and fudgy on the inside. It's exactly what a brownie should be. The secret to shiny brownies is to whisk the eggs and sugar together until it doubles in size and the sugar melts. This is how you get that nice glossy crackly top layer. My second tip is to fold the dry ingredients until they have just combined. Don't over mix your brownie better, otherwise it turns out really dry and cakey and no one wants that. Follow this exact recipe, and you will have the perfect brownie every single time.
