Tips for making Brown Butter Sourdough Brownies:

  1. Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality chocolate and sourdough discard for the best flavor in your brownies.

  2. Proper Brown Butter Technique: Take your time to brown the butter until it develops a nutty aroma and golden brown color, which adds richness to the brownies.

  3. Sourdough Discard Consistency: Ensure your sourdough discard is at room temperature before incorporating it into the brownie batter for optimal results.

  4. Gentle Mixing: Mix the brownie batter gently to avoid over-mixing, which can result in tough brownies. Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

  5. Even Distribution: Spread the brownie batter evenly into the baking pan to ensure uniform baking and consistent texture throughout.

  6. Don't Over-bake: Keep an eye on the brownies as they bake and remove them from the oven when the edges are set but the center is still slightly gooey for fudgy brownies.

  7. Let Them Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing to allow them to set and develop their full flavor.

  8. Optional Add-Ins: Consider adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for extra flavor and texture.

  9. Store Properly: Store any leftover brown butter sourdough brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days to maintain freshness.

  10. Enjoy Fresh: Serve the brownies warm with a scoop of ice cream or a glass of milk for a decadent dessert experience.
