Crinkle Top Brownies
Thick, rich, and super fudgy, these crinkle-top brownies are so simple to make from scratch.
Ingredients
- 113 g butter, salted or unsalted
- 85 g semisweet chocolate
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 50 g soft brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
- 2 large eggs
- 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 63 g all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease or line an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, combine the butter and the chocolate and heat it on low-medium heat until it's all melted and combined. Take the pan off the heat, then stir through the sugars while it's still hot.
- Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, for at least a minute, followed by the salt and vanilla extract.
- Sift in the cocoa and the flour and stir it well to combine it into a glossy chocolate batter. Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
- Bake the brownies for around 28-32 minutes until a knife inserted into the pan comes out fairly clean with a few moist crumbs sticking to it. No wet batter should be left, but the brownie should still be moist. Take care not to overcook the brownies.
- Leave the brownies to cool down entirely before lifting and slicing them from the pan. Store any leftover brownies covered at room temperature for up to a week.
Notes
Measuring - This recipe is written using grams as the main measurement. US cup equivalents are also included if you don't have a scale. Take note that US cup sizes are smaller than metric cup sizes.
Freezing - Tightly wrap and freeze the brownie slab or portion it up first. Let it thaw at room temperature or overnight in the fridge. If you like a warm brownie, pop it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, once thawed, to lightly heat it.
Chocolate - Choose good quality chocolate, one with cocoa butter (don't use compound chocolate which uses vegetable oils.)
Other brownie flavors - You could make brown butter brownies, orange chocolate brownies or triple chocolate brownies too!
