Preparation

Chef’s notes

This brownie recipe is very forgiving and flexible, so it can be baked in two different sized pans.
These brownies are best when they’re room temp or even slightly warm.
For a classic thin and fudgy brownie, bake in a 10×15″ jelly roll pan. This is my preference because I remember those school lunch cafeteria brownies being so thin in the best way.
A 9×13″ baking pan will yield the same tender and fudgy consistency, only thicker.
Always recommend baking in a light colored aluminum pan for best heat conduction.
