Fudgy Brownies

Deep chocolate brownies with the shiny, crackly top — fresh wheat flour gives them real depth.

Ingredients

16 tbsp (227g) unsalted butter, softened 2 cups (425g) light brown sugar, packed 3/4 cup (64g) cocoa 1 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 tbsp vanilla extract 4 large eggs 1 1/2 cups (170g) Fyler Farms sifted wheat flour 2 cups (340g) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F; grease a 9x13 pan (parchment optional but handy).
  2. Melt the butter, add the sugar, and stir.
  3. Reheat the mixture briefly to 110–120°F to dissolve more sugar — that is the secret to the shiny crust.
  4. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla.
  5. Add the eggs, stirring until smooth.
  6. Add the flour and chips, stir until smooth, and spread into the pan.
  7. Bake about 30 minutes, until a tester shows moist crumbs (not raw batter). Cool completely before cutting.

Tip: Up to 3 cups total of mix-ins (nuts, toffee, white chocolate, peanut butter) work great; add 3–5 minutes to the bake.
