Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20x20cm baking dish. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
Tip: Use a high-quality parchment paper to prevent the Brookies from sticking.
- 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Tip: Make sure to sift the dry ingredients to ensure even distribution.
- 3
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
Tip: Don't overmix the butter and sugar, as this will result in a dense Brookie.
- 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and butter extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Tip: Don't overmix the batter, as this will result in a tough Brookie.
- 5
Fold in the chopped walnuts and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Tip: Make sure to distribute the walnuts evenly throughout the batter.
- 6
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tip: Don't overbake the Brookies, as they will become dry and crumbly.
- 7
While the Brookies are baking, prepare the caramelized sugar crust. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
Tip: Be careful not to burn the sugar, as this will result in a bitter flavor.
- 8
Continue cooking the sugar mixture until it reaches 150°C (300°F) on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until melted.
Tip: This will create a smooth and creamy caramel sauce.
- 9
Remove the Brookies from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
Tip: Make sure to drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the Brookies to avoid creating a mess.
- 10
Let the Brookies cool completely in the baking dish before slicing and serving.
Tip: This will ensure that the caramel sauce sets properly and the Brookies retain their moisture.
- 11
Cut the Brookies into squares and serve.
Tip: You can dust the top with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
