WHAT IS SOUFFLE? 

 

Soufflé pancakes are nothing but eggs. Meringue created with eggs whites helps them to rise as the recipe don't calls for baking powder or baking soda. There fore egg whites has too been for long until stiff peaks are formed.

2. Preheat your pan on lowest possible heat.

best brownie recipe

 

Brownie: Expectations v/s Reality

 

 

Brownie is chocolate baked confectionery. It has less amount of flour and more amount of fats in it like butter and chocolate. Brownie have various varieties depending upon their ingredients ratio as more flour will give it a cakey texture while more addition of oil and brown sugar helps them to keep super moist.

 

 

Mostly people expect that the chocolate cake and brownie are the same thing but the fact is they are both totally different things in numerous ways for example  oven temperature, ingredients ratio, baking time etc.

Tips for a perfect brownie:

 



1. Measure your flour correctly too much flour will not give it a fudgy texture.

 

2. Don't over bake your brownies. Insert the toothpick at the edge rather than in the center if it comes out clean that means its all done.

 

3. Don't over beat your batter after adding flour to the mixture just fold it in till its incorporated.
