    Whisking for a couple of minutes helps to dissolve the sugar and incorporate air, contributing to a fudgy texture.

    Brownies are best when slightly underbaked for a fudgier texture. The edges should be set, but the center still a bit soft.

    Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares. This is crucial for fudgy, neat slices.
