I am sorry my knowledge is still very limited as such I can't really give any comments. I hope you will continue to bake and I am sure you will be able to get the perfect batch of brownies :DHappy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-85458270776643759642009-12-25T00:24:33.427+08:002009-12-25T00:24:33.427+08:00Hi HHB

However the silly me did not wait for the saucepan or melted chocolate before throwing in the egg! Guess what happened? :)<br /><br />Thankfully it still turned out really good but my brownie didn't have the smooth shiny pretty crust you had. It looked more like a dark marbled shiny top. Any idea why? Due to the egg? :P<br /><br />Thanks again foe sharing and do keep your baking blog alive! :)<br /><br />Cheers<br />Ronni<br />New mother of one :)Ronnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440712341370025168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-51809450336586995012009-10-27T14:24:28.914+08:002009-10-27T14:24:28.914+08:00Hi HHB, just tried the Brownies over the weekend. ...Hi HHB, just tried the Brownies over the weekend.

We actually just finished baking.. However, the result turns out not so well. The top layer is not crispy at all. We tried to poke the brownie but it was very moist at the inside so we actually leave it to bake for a longer time... is this the reason?

Choose one that has got a high cocoa content. You can read more about it here (http://www.joyofbaking.com/chocolate.html)<br />For baking, it is best to use oil that has got a mild flavour, such as sunflower, canola or olive oil. Some type of cooking oil may not be suitable due to the stronger flavour.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-6971251374834978912009-06-02T17:30:27.647+08:002009-06-02T17:30:27.647+08:00Hi HHB,
