To create your perfect brownies, follow one of these formulas:
- Fudgy: less flour, more fat, more egg yolks, use melted chocolate, no leavening agents. Mix lightly and slightly underbake.
- Cakey: more flour, less fat, more egg whites, use cocoa powder, plus a leavening agent. Bake until fully set.
- Chewy: don’t skimp on sugar (brown not white!) and fat.
