Notes
Tips for best brownies:
- Bring the eggs to room temperature and lightly beat them to incorporate them well without overmixing.
- Grease and line the pan with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking.
- To avoid overbaking, check the brownies with a toothpick 2 minutes before they are done. Look for several separate crumbs for fudgy brownies and less for cakey brownies.
- Cool the brownies before slicing. Refrigerating them improves their texture.
