My blondie brownies came out very tasty but very chewy -- what did I do wrong?!
Thanks!
Answers: A few weeks ago I tried to make some "blondies" for the first time. They tasted great but came out VERY chewy -- any idea what I had too much/not enough of? I don't have the exact measurements anymore but I used flour, brown sugar, vanilla extract, an egg, and a little bit of milk. I'd like to try again for Thanksgiving, but only if their edible.
Thanks!
With all baked goods, the texture is affected by how much you mix it. When puttng together the ingredients, combine everything but the flour completely, add the flour and stir until just combined. Stirring more will make the results tough and chewy. Flour contains gluten, and the more a dough or batter is worked, the stretchier the gluten becomes, like when you knead bread dough to make it chewy.
hope that helps!
Mmm I love them like that, but you could bake them a little longer next time that should do it
