Here Are Easy Tips For Making Moist And Soft Brownies At Home:
1.Don't Overmix The Batter
One of the worst things that you could do to your brownie batter is to overmix it. By doing so, air gets incorporated into it and makes it light and fluffy. And we don't want that. The denser the brownie batter, the moister your brownies will be.
2.Use The Correct Size Of Tin
Using a tin that is too small would not allow the batter to spread evenly. On the other hand, using a tin that is too big would spread it out in a thin layer. This can result in brownies that are too dry and cakey as they would bake quickly.
3.Use The Correct Type Of Tin
This step is often overlooked but makes a huge difference in ensuring that your brownies turn out to be moist. It is best to use light coloured metal tins instead of dark ones. Using a dark tin can speed up the baking process and result in over-baked brownies.
4.Don't Over Bake Them
After you've put your brownies in the oven, make sure to check them after 15-20 mins. Gently press them in the center or use a toothpick to see how wet the batter is. If it's firm enough, it's time to take them out! It's better to have an undercooked brownie rather than an overbaked one.
So, the next time you make brownies at home, keep these tips in mind!
