Step 1: Choose a brownie recipe
When searching for the best brownie recipe, first consider the texture you hope to achieve: Do you like fudgy brownies or cakey brownies? In many brownie recipes, the proportion of flour to other ingredients is significantly less than in other baked goods. Reduce the amount of flour to make your brownies dense, fudgy, or rich. If you prefer brownies with a cakelike texture, look for brownie recipes with more flour. Some cakelike brownies contain milk or buttermilk, making their texture more like rich, fluffy chocolate cake.
