- ✓Mix the batter only until flour streaks disappear (about 20-30 strokes) because overmixing develops gluten, creating a tough, cake-like texture instead of fudgy brownies.technique20-30 strokes
- ✓Cover the skillet with foil or lid after 8 minutes to trap steam and create even heat distribution, preventing the top from overcooking while the center sets.timing8 minutes
