Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use unsalted butter for the Lava Brownies?
Sure! Although the recipe suggests using salted pure butter (like Kerrygold for a touch) you can definitely use unsalted butter if that’s what you have available. It will add a flavor profile. Allow you to adjust the level of saltiness according to your preference.
Can I adjust the sugar for a less sweet option?
Of course! The amount of sugar in the recipe contributes to the texture. If you prefer a less sweet taste you can slightly modify the quantity. Just keep in mind that sugar plays a role in achieving a balance of flavors.
How do I ensure the crinkly-brownie top turns out perfect?
To achieve the crinkly brownie top, on your brownies here’s a little secret; gently tap the pan against a hard surface five times after the initial 15-minute bake. This simple yet crucial step enhances the texture ensuring that your Lava Brownies not only taste heavenly but also look like a piece of art.
