Brownies | Basics with Babish

Is it a thick n' fudgy that floats your boat? Or maybe it's a tasty cake that wets your whistle? Either way, I think we can all agree I shouldn't do voice-overs or write video descriptions this late at night. Well I hope you at least learned something you can bring into your next batch of brownies!

Guys, be smart, don't put weed in your brownies.








It doesn't work that way, you gotta make butter first.

I love how his cooking and editing is professional then he just decides to deep throat the brownie 😂

[jessy]

"Allow to cool one hour in the pan" bold of you to assume I have that kind of self control

[atmreads]

Babish: we won't judge you for liking cakey brownies
Babish: *proceeds to throw SO much shade to cakey brownies*

[brennens]

i wonder how many times he’s said ‘this isn’t going to make it taste like coffee, it’s just going to amp up the chocolate flavour’

[itakru]

My favorite kind of brownie: so thick, dense, and chewy it practically glues my teeth together

[saxassoon]

Like Babish, I too enjoy my brownies Medium Rare, the only acceptable brownie

I tried to convert the measurements to the metric system, for the rest of the world. I only have the calculations for the fudge brownie recipe but it should do. Do tell me if I’m wrong:)

"You all deserve your shot at happiness. And happiness is a brownie."

me, choking back tears: babish is the bob Ross of cooking

[romakanchinadam]

"practically melting and with the texture of chewing gum"

this is literally the best description of my ideal brownie ive ever heard

[MusicalMethuselah]

"While we prepare our dry ingredients, I mean eggs."

Babish: "Don't develop too much gluten"

me: "Like a pancake"

Babish: "Like pancakes"

me: I LEARNED SOMETHING!!

"If you like cakey brownies, we won't judge you for it"

**proceeds to judge cakey brownies intensely**

[keyluvsyouu]

The way he expresses his hatred toward cakey browines has me dead💀😂

[adyanz]

2:54 Chewy brownie

5:17 Melty brownies

[pantherisboss]

the perfect brownie to me is one that is dense, chewy, and super chocolatey, but also has that super crunchy and crispy crust on top

[nghtwng]

My preferred brownie experience is, crispy outside, soft and goo-ey inside served with some vanilla ice-cream

[xavierdestremau]

Me: cakey brownies are pretty good. I love the crunch and the crisp
Babish: Disgusting
Me: disgusting

[calebramirez]

Binging with babish: I’m dieting

Also binging with babish: *shoves entire brownie into mouth in one bite*

[elderrusty]

“I ruined the surface integrity” if the brownies don’t have a cracked top you’re doing it wrong
