Behold: The Shiny-Topped, Rich, Fudgy Brownies of My Dreams 🎉🎉🎉 Friends, where to begin? I have long loved this @finecookingmag recipe for brownies — truly, it is the only brownie recipe I have made for well over a decade. They didn’t, however, consistently emerge with that desirable, shiny, paper-thin crackly crust. About a month ago, I reached out to my newsletter readers for help and they pointed me to an @bravetart article that helped tremendously. (I miss Stella Parks!) In sum, this is what has made a difference: ✅ Melting the butter and sugar sufficiently and beating the two together until they are nearly emulsified — it should look like wet sand. ✅ Beating the eggs for about a minute until they get foamy and slightly thick, about a minute. ✅ Whisking the butter-sugar mixture really well into the eggs before adding the dry ingredients. The recipe is linked in profile 🤗 #brownies #cocoa #shiny #fudgy #rich
