Best Ever Brown Butter Fudge Brownies

Making Brownies are the easiest of the baking attempts, if any of you have been recently trying your hands on baking.

Brownies are easy to make, needs only a handful of major ingredients, looks nice, tastes delicious and when the results are good – It will feel like you have won the lottery of the baking contests.

Yes making chewy and fudge-y brownies is just so simple and today I’m going to give out my recipe for these beautiful dark bars of chocolate goodness.

The recipe calls for brown butter, for that intense nutty flavor. Butter butter makes everything better – This should be the new trademark for all those use butter for baking. The brown butter totally elevates the taste of any bake you’ll do and trust me, once you experience the nutty goodness in every bite you will not think about anything else.

The after taste of using the brown butter is also amazing, and making your own brown butter is so simple. All you need is to take the quantity if butter the recipe calls for and put it in a thick bottomed sauce pan – let it melt and then cook in low flame until the yellow butter changes into nutty brown, you know like the skin of an almond. Turn off the flame and let it cool. Then use in any recipe as needed. Like brown butter chocolate chip cookies, blondies etc.,

Or, you let the heat from the browned butter to melt the chocolate directly as I do for my brownies, so you do not have to use a double boiler or a microwave to melt the chocolate. All in the same sauce pan! Easy..

And what makes these brownies so fudge-y with a crispy top is the addition on whisked eggs, you know don’t simply crack the eggs directly into the mixing bowl or a sauce pan but using a separate bowl and put some effort to whisk the eggs until they are frothy. This is key. You can add nutella, or any chocolate spread at this stage of whisking the eggs which really helps with the fudge factor.

Bake time is a bit higher for this recipe so we get a chewy and a little crispy edges. But you keep an eye after 30 mins and take it out as per your preference.
