How to Make Granny S Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted; 4 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 cup buttermilk.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
