Delicious Homemade Brownies Made Completely from Scratch
The other day I was craving something chocolatey (like always right…nothing new). I thought about baking some cookies, but my son and hubby suggested that I make brownies, and who am I to argue with them? There’s nothing better than soft gooey brownies fresh out of the oven. It’s just pure heaven.
These brownies are simply out of this world. Everything is just so perfect. They aren’t too rich, and they aren’t overly sweet.

Hi Rosie. Thanks for the amazing recipes. Does it matter which flour I use (all purpose or self rising)?
