Tips To make crackly tops on brownies, use hot melted butter. Whisk your butter and sugar really well. Beat eggs one at a time for a good minute. This step is crucial for that crackly top. Remember do not over beat the batter once the flour and cocoa powder are added. It creates air in the batter which will give you a cake-like textured brownies. Try not over bake the brownies. If you are looking for fudgy brownies then remove them from the oven when the sides have begun to shrink away from the sides of the pan but the center is still gooey. Cool completely before slicing. Keep them at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator to cool for at least an hour before cutting them. This give the best result in perfect professional cuts. If you wanna give more chocolate touch tho the brownies then chop up 4 oz of baking chocolate and mix them into the batter. This will take the brownies to the next level and make them more amazing.
