Making good brownies is not about the recipe you use, but the technique. My baker once overcooked the brownies and my client called and said they were dry. I knew exactly what happened. I baked again, being careful not to over bake and the client was happy.
I love a chewy brownie with a smooth ganache icing. It’s a marriage made in heaven! Enjoy
