Best Fudgy Brownies Ever!

By

Seriously, the best brownie recipe I have EVER tried!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or yogurt
  • 3 1/3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 cups cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, for topping

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the butter.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the wet ingredients.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl and mix with the dry ingredients. If you are using the chocolate chips and the nuts, stir them in now.

5. Spread into a large, greased jelly roll pan.

6. Sprinkle with brown sugar.

7. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes, or until a clean tooth pick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.

These brownies are best when served after being cooled in the fridge. For easiest cutting, use a plastic knife. I don't know why, but it works!
