Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I always start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). Nothing beats the smell of brownies baking away in the oven! If you’re using parchment paper, go ahead and line your baking pan for easier removal later. In a large mixing bowl, I melt the butter in the microwave, and then I add in the granulated sugar, whisking until it’s combined. The mixture will look glossy—that’s when you know it’s ready for the eggs! Next, I add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition. A splash of vanilla extract adds to the aromatic base of the brownies, making my kitchen feel like a bakery. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
