The Best Fudge Brownies | Fudge Brownies call for basic ingredients as I have mentioned but please ensure they are of good quality and used in the correct quantity.

Butter is necessary for that gooey, moist and slightly chewy brownie. So use a good quality 100% butter like Amul or President, etc.

Using granulated sugar gives that signature shiny tops. I use Castor sugar which granulated yet very fine.

Cocoa powder is what we will use in this recipe. A rich yet unsweetened cocoa powder will add that bitter yet deep chocolate flavor here. We are not using chocolate as most recipes ask for compound chocolate. The compound chocolate is melted with sugar and butter. The compound chocolate, as we know has sugar and fats of it’s own is not really necessary. Hence using a rich unsweetened cocoa will work well here.

Eggs are so good at building the brownie, quite literally. A brownie has no other raising agents so eggs are the backbone here in this recipe. They ensure that the brownies have a consistent structure.

Salt and Vanilla give a boost to the flavors. Salt helps bringing out that sweetness which really helps in giving brownies that deep, almost caramelly taste.

All purpose flour is that one ingredient which seems too less in any brownie recipe but it helps the eggs is giving that consistent structure. Cakey brownies call for a lot more flour. Whereas, a good fudge brownie won’t need all that flour.

Chopped chocolate or Choco chips can be added as well when pouring the batter to bake. It is optional.

Now let us make ourselves the Best Fudge Brownies ever!

Preheat the oven @160’c. Line a 8 inch square baking tin with parchment paper and set that aside.

In a double boiler, melt together the sugar, cocoa, salt and butter until completely smooth and lump free.

Add vanilla extract and the eggs next. Whisk well until the eggs have been well incorporated.

Next add the flour and mix well at this point. Do not whisk. We don’t have to make a fluffy brownie.

Pour this batter in the ready tin.

Tap the tin a couple of times on the work surface to release any air pockets from the batter.

Bake this at 160’c for approximately 45-50 minutes or until an toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Note that every oven works differently so adjust the temperature.

Do not bake them at a very temperature because they won’t cook through and will turn too hard.

Let them cool down completely once they are baked. Then slice them into squares.

They can be frozen for up to weeks and stored at room temperature in an airtight box for a week.
