King Arthur lists many variations of brownies in this cookbook including fudgy, cakey, and on-the-fence. I went with the fudgy brownies because I wanted brownies like the ones that come from a mix with the crackly top.
I followed the directions exactly - including the admonition to heat the butter twice (once to melt the butter and again after the sugar is added). I used Bensdorp Dutch Process cocoa which KA sells through their catalog and in their VT store.
The batter was so thick it was difficult to spread but using my wet hands I was able to get it spread nicely. The top is not nice and shiny and crackly like the recipe stated it would be. The brownies are not quite sweet enough either - though with 2 full cups of sugar they should be.
They're fine. We'll eat them. I just wouldn't make them again when there are other brownie recipes to try.
