How to make fudgy brownies?
Changing the proportions of the ingredients can make a great difference in the texture of the brownie. To get a fudgy brownie that is moist, dense and intensely chocolaty inside, the amount of flour used in the recipe is lesser as compared to cakey brownies. The more flour the more cakey they will be.
Also, the key is to check the brownies for doneness a little before the recipe says to. The centre should feel like just set. When inserting a tooth pick to check, look for slight dense batter sticking and not runny. “When in doubt,” says Cindy Mitchell, “lean toward underdone rather than overdone.”
How to store brownies?
Brownies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Once refrigerated, they will become like thick fudge. Reheat in the microwave for gooey brownies, if you’d prefer.
