Hazelnut Brownies

The recipe I make for hazelnut brownies is by Laurel Evans, and my whole family loves it because they are very delicious and will surely please yours as well. Brownies are typical American pastry treats; besides being very tasty and good, they are simple and quick to make. In fact, they don’t need electric whisks or mixers, just a hand whisk and a spatula for sweets.
Note: they should not be overbaked because they need to stay moist and soft, and before cutting them into classic squares, the cake should be completely cooled.
Okay, let’s discover it together!

See you soon Susy
