Notes

• This brownie recipe would be suitable as a substitute for any of our boxed brownie mix recipes.
• Halve this rich brownie recipe to bake it in a 9×9-inch square baking pan.
• Mixing the sugar with the hot butter partially dissolves the sugar crystals. This, along with the extra whisking of the egg mixture at the beginning, are what gives these brownies that crispy, shiny top and a nice chew around the edges.
• Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your brownies at the lower end of the recommended bake time.
