Top Tips
- Ensure that you use good quality white chocolate to make your brownies have great taste and texture.
- Avoid overheating the white chocolate to prevent it from becoming hard and clumpy. White chocolate also burns easily, so you need to microwave it for just 10 seconds or melt it in low heat. Remember to stir thoroughly as you melt the chocolate to avoid getting grainy-looking chocolate.
- For the best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- Keeping temperatures at 180C while you bake helps create a fudgy center and prevents the brownies from becoming too dark.
- You may add a pinch of salt to balance the different flavors in this yummy treat.
- You can insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies to check whether they are ready. Your brownies are done when only a few crumbs fall out, and the brownie does not stick.
- Use parchment paper to make it easier to remove the brownies from the baking pan.
- It is important that you carefully whisk your eggs and sugar together until you achieve a pale and smooth mixture. This step helps to achieve a shiny crackle top. Also, fold in the flour gently to get the same result.
Recipe Variations
- You can play around with this recipe by using cinnamon sugar.
- Another variation of this recipe is to add dried fruits to bring out a fruity taste.
- You may use brown sugar or white sugar in making this recipe instead of caster sugar.
