Say hello to our favorite brownies recipe from scratch. You only need a saucepan and spoon to make these brownies. Mixing the sugar and cocoa powder into the hot melted butter helps get that shiny, crinkly top we all love. If you reach for darker chocolate over milk chocolate, these bittersweet brownies are for you. Use natural or Dutch-process cocoa powder. See the tips below the recipe for guidance on choosing the best cocoa powder for your brownies. When measuring the flour and cocoa powder for these brownies, either weigh them or use the “spoon and level” method: Fluff the flour/cocoa, spoon it into the measuring cup, and level off the top with a flat edge. You can see me do this in our video!
