Comments: |
| You can adjust the amount of flour and milk according to how chewy or how cake-like you want your brownies. Also, the addition of the baking powder makes more cake-like brownies. If your brownies are still more dense than you would like, just add more baking powder. That is one of the main keys to getting brownies to rise at this altitude. Also, spread the batter so that it is thicker at the edges and corners as the brownies tend to bake faster there. Don't overcook! I use a glass or stainless steel pan rather than a dark enamel pan. |
