Some tips when making a brownie:
- Always use room temperature eggs and melted butter.
- Don’t over mix your batter, you want to fold in your chocolate pieces and nuts.
- Wait for your brownies to completely cool before cutting.
- Nigellas tip- Brownies should be removed from the oven before the centre is fully cooked, as the brownies will continue to set as they cool and this gives the brownie its soft texture. You do not want the brownies to be raw in the centre when you remove them from the oven, but they should be slightly undercooked. If you insert a cake tester into the centre of the brownies pan it should come out with some damp crumbs attached. If the tester has raw batter on then bake for another 2-3 minutes and test again. Brownies go very quickly from being fudgy to cakey, so if in doubt start checking them slightly early.
