Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven and prepare your baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter.

Baking

Notes
Ensure butter is melted but not bubbling, and allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting for best results.
