What is Brownie:

Brownies are square baked shaped confectionery. It is either fudgy or cakey depending o the density. It is usually chocolate flavored and a variation to this is a blondie. Blondies are vanilla flavored.

Brownies are usually had along with milk or with a scoop of icecreams. It is very popular in the United States and Cannada.

How to Prepare Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

Fudgy Chocolate Brownies have higher fat content in the batter than flour. The Fat content in the batter will be chocolate and butter. A cakey brownie will have more flour in the batter than the fat content along with the leavening agents.

Our Brownie recipe is more like a Fudgy Chocolate Brownie. The batter does not have any learning agents and the fat content is more than the flour.

? Ingredients For Chocolate Brownies

Butter

Use unsalted butter for the brownies. If using salted butter you can skip adding salt later in the batter. Do not try to reduce the butter as it is one of the most important ingredient for the fudge chocolate brownies.

Eggs

Eggs along with butter give a nice airy batter. This is the most important part again. You can try using egg replacement, but I have never tried this recipe without eggs. If you are looking for an eggless version ,checkout my eggless Chocolate Brownies

Cocoa Powder

Use good quality unsweetened cocoa powder.

All Purpose Flour:

For a fudgy brownie the flour to fat ratio will be less and hence use the flour quantity as mentioned.
