FAQ
Q: Why do brownies crack?
Brownies can crack for a few reasons. One reason is that the batter was overmixed. When you overmix the batter, it develops too much gluten, which can cause the brownies to crack. Another reason is that the brownies were not baked long enough. If the brownies are not baked long enough, they will not have a firm enough structure to hold their shape and will crack when they cool.
Q: How can prevent my brownies from cracking?
There are a few things you can do to prevent your brownies from cracking. First, be careful not to overmix the batter. Second, make sure to bake the brownies for the full amount of time. Finally, let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares.
