    Update: DELISH!!! Also added a little baking powder to make it a tad more "cakey". Also, after cooking and cooling, I cut an inch of the perimeter of the brownies (9x9 pan) and cut bite size (crunchier) caramelized pieces! woah...great with a coffee! 👍👍

    I always love the videos that contain a... ahem, an opportunity for improvement... as they show us how to recover from them! As someone whose creme brulee torch has been shelved for a long while due to a brief, but smelly, exposure to brunt sugar, this might be what I needed to find a reason to use it again!

    The dry ingredients are the ones which are not wet. The wet ingredients therefore become the "not dry ingredients". I Love it. Another of my favourite KZreadrs, Life of Boris, called eggs 'chicken produce', but has also been known to call a chicken an "eggbird." As a Spike Milligna (the well known typing error) fan from way back, this appeals to my sense of the ridiculous.

    I saw your video last night, and made a batch of brownies this afternoon. Oh my, were they good!! I did substitute a 8x11.5 in glass pan with no issues. I also didn't have chocolate squares, so I used my cocoa/melted butter mix. They were still amazing. Unfortunately, even cut into 12 pieces, I don't think they will last through the night with 4 adults in the house. Thank you Chef, for all the great videos.😍 (from St. Thomas, Ontario)

    Please keep in mind I am saying this after sourcing the information from what I heard people say on the internet, rather than actually doing proper research, so yeah, take it with a pinch of salt. From what I understand, self rising flour in the U.S. comes with salt included from the milling side of things, while in alot of other countries (Canada and Australia being two of these countries) the salt isn't added to the flour when it's milled. So I guess, if you get the plain flour and add everything yourself, you can control what goes in - or doesn't go in.
