Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started on making these luscious brownies! First, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease my baking pan, or sometimes I like to use parchment paper for easy removal. In a large mixing bowl, I melt the unsalted butter and mix in the granulated sugar until it’s well combined. Next, I add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract. The batter should be glossy and smooth at this point, and I can’t help but sneak a taste!
