This morning I made Alton Brown's recipe for brownies. I'm not happy with that recipe. First, it took much longer to bake than he says. 2nd they are too cake like, with not enough chewiness.
4 lg eggs, beaten to a froth and light yellow.
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
8 ounces butter (2 sticks) melted (seems like too much)
1 1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup flour (seems too little)
1/4tsp salt
2tsp vanilla
pre-heat oven to 300 F. (seems quite low to me)
grease and flour a 8 X 8" pan
Beat eggs with mixer until frothy and a light yellow
Add sugars and the rest of the ingredients. Beat well.
Pour into a 8 X 8 " pan. Bake on center rack for 45 minutes until a tooth pick comes out clean. (It took 75 minutes). Though it did rise quite high (1 1/2")and did not shrink upon cooling.
1st how can I increase the chewyness ?
2nd why did it take so long to bake (25 minutes LONGER)
Thank you for any tips on how to improve.
