Notes

These are neither "cake" brownies nor "fudge" brownies; they fall somewhere in between. So if you need one or the other then this brownies are not for you, you better use your own recipe and go on from there.
Do not use a mixer as we do not want the batter to be overmixed, a spoon is just enough for it.
