# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Grab the parchment paper edges and pull the brownies out. Use a sharp knife to cut them up. Clean the knife after each cut if you want neat squares.
02 -
Once they’re out of the oven, tap the pan a couple more times on the counter. Allow them to rest for an hour in the pan or until they're cool to the touch.
03 -
Pop the pan back into the oven for 15 minutes. Pull it out, then tap it firmly a couple more times. This helps with that crinkly top everyone loves.
04 -
Smooth the batter out in your lined pan. Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 20 minutes. Take the pan out and give it a couple of solid taps on the counter to knock some air out.
05 -
Sprinkle in the flour and salt through a sifter. Use a spatula to fold everything just until it all comes together. Try not to stir too much so the batter stays light.
06 -
Pour your matcha-white chocolate blend into the bowl with sugar and eggs. Stir gently to blend it all, then mix in the vanilla.
07 -
Toss the brown and white sugar into a big bowl. Crack in all three eggs, then use your electric mixer on high until the mix is pale, thick, and looks like a lighter pancake batter.
08 -
Dump the white chocolate chips and matcha into a medium bowl. Pour in your melted butter and stir till all the chips are melted and the mix is totally smooth.
09 -
Put your butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it up in 1-minute bursts until melted, or just melt it on the stove.
10 -
Turn your oven on to 350°F (177°C). Spray your 8x8 pan so nothing sticks, then line it with parchment paper and leave the ends hanging over the sides. Makes pulling out brownies easier.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
If you whip up your eggs and sugar until super fluffy, you'll get that soft, fudgy middle everyone talks about.
02 -
Gently folding in dry stuff keeps your brownies light. Stirring too much can make them dense.
03 -
Banging the pan before and after baking helps make that shiny, crackled top.
04 -
Let the brownies cool fully before cutting, or chill them for half an hour for extra neat slices.
