Decoration Tips

Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 300 grams of high-quality bitter chocolate
- 2 heaping tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of finely sifted all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Melting Chocolate and Butter:
- Gently melt the chocolate and butter together using a double boiler method or microwave, ensuring the mixture is smooth and glossy. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Whisking Eggs and Sugar:
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar vigorously until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy, creating a light, airy foundation for the brownie.
- Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, maintaining a gentle hand to keep the air in the eggs.
- Folding in Flour:
- Carefully sift the flour over the chocolate and egg mixture, folding it in slowly to avoid deflating the mixture, ensuring it remains fluffy yet rich.
- Baking the Brownie:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking pan with parchment paper, then pour and evenly spread the brownie batter into the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly gooey.
- Cooling and Serving:
- Allow the brownie to cool slightly in the pan, then cut into squares. The brownie is best enjoyed warm, with its center soft and slightly molten.
