Heyyy ! I tried your recipie out. The brownie tasted amazing but i dint get the crispy top. Could you think of the reason for the same ,
Hey Kriti! So glad you liked it. For the crackled top it is extremely essential that the sugar dissolves completely, 100% before you proceed with the next step. The dissolved sugar leads to the crackled top. Hope this helps 🙂
Hi Anjali, just wanted to confirm that this recipe calls for ‘powdered sugar’ and not granulated (or castor sugar), right? Also, love that you’re such a pro at baking but have not qualms posting about your baking fails, which not all pros do!
Hi Priyanka! Yes, it calls for powdered sugar, just for ease of dissolving. You can use castor sugar too, it will just take a little longer to dissolve. And, I am so happy you enjoy the baking fails, although I have been baking for so many years I fail so many times hahaha.
