Tips
- Do not overmix the batter, otherwise the brownies will be more cakey as opposed to fudgy.
- Baking time is key here, so do not overbake the brownies, otherwise they're going to end up more cakey.
- Melting some of the sugar helps to achieve that crinkled top.
- Whipping the eggs also helps to create that crinkled top.
