Thank you 🙏🏾!!!!

[@mellivingwell]

I love that this is the first time making it on camera because this is what I (a home baker) looks like when I make a recipe for the first time. Even after reading the recipe 3-4 times before starting I always forget to add an ingredient or a step. I need to try this recipe.

Haha everything can always be fixed, confidence is key!

Dane: Where were you when I needed this after a botched cooking experiment in my class for high school so many years ago and bawled when I screwed it up so bad? You just kept on going like it was nothing out of the ordinary. Amazing job! You guys not editing out the spoofs just made me love this channel even more. Thank you for being genuine and these brownies looked sinful!!!

dane is such a vibe

[@nancys3728]

Just so you know, fan assisted ovens are super rare in the US. So, recipe temps are always for a regular oven. Also, we never put brownies in the fridge, unless it's for an unusually fancy brownie. I've never had a brownie in the UK, but judging from the brownies they make on GBBO, they must be quite different.

[@jordankahaner4262]

So then what’s the difference between convect bake vs bake

[@adkamushka3174]

So I made this recipe recently… And as person who baked a lot of brownies in the past and I love Jemmas recipes, this was not up to my expectations. Browned butter yes but too much cocoa and too little chocolate. Save yourself time and ingredients and make a different Jemma’s brownie recipe- they are absolutely amazing 😉

[@sharonlee2998]

OMG its 1am and need find a shop open to buy ingredients to bake this NOW

Hi Dane🤗what size eggs have u used dear! Thanks in advance 😘🤗🙏

[@CupcakeJemma]

We always use large eggs 💖

[@jemimaj20]

Do you think you could cut the sugar down? 400g seems like a lot. Great video, thanks 😊

[@emmamc8592]

I agree!! I find that in most recipes it’s safe to cut 15-20% of the sugar without comprimising the structure of the bake. Just a little tip!

[@annchovy6]

400 g isn’t a lot as this makes a large pan of brownies (9 x 13). Google popular brownie recipes (Nick Malgieri’s supernatural brownies, Claire Saffitz’ fudgy brownies, Sally’s baking Addiction, etc) and you’ll see this is quite a normal amount. In fact, it’s lower than many. People often get used to recipes for 9 x 9 pans, which require half the amount of ingredients, so when they see a recipe of this size they think it’s a lot. Brownies are just high in sugar in general.

[@s0neskim]

it would be bitter, the sugar helps with the moisture

[@CupcakeJemma]

You are welcome to change the ratios - we haven't tried changing them so can't say I that would work well. I will say you'd need to alter all the ingredients to cut down on sugar - in all honesty 400g isn't actually that much for the six of these brownies!

[@jemimaj20]

@@CupcakeJemma I love baking, but I have never really made Brownies . So to be fair, i am not really familiar with the ratios. I need to get baking Brownies 😋

[@AJs_sugarrush]

Awesome...what would be the best option to replace eggs?

[@CupcakeJemma]

You can buy lots of fab egg replacers online and in most grocery stores now - just check the instructions open the packets for how to use for each egg 👌🏼
