Some tips and tricks before you get started

• Have all your ingredients weighed and ready to go before starting. If you ware weighing and adding as you go, the resulting batter will be really firm and hard to spread into the tray

• Have all ingredients at room temperature before starting to ensure a soft batter for pouring into the tray (see above note)

• The have the brownies on a fudgier side, bake for 25 mins or 30 mins for a more cakey brownie.
