Notes

Mixing - All mixing is done by hand to avoid getting too much air into the batter which could cause it to rise too much and then fall.
Pan and lining - Use a metal pan for best results. Line the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to make it easier to remove the brownies. Grease the parchment paper or foil the same as you would grease a pan alone.
