Sour Cream Is Your Secret Weapon For Impressively Rich Brownies
NEWS
By ALICIA BETZ
Elevate your brownies with a creative twist by adding sour cream for an incredibly rich and moist texture, complemented by a subtle tanginess that enhances the overall taste.
Adding sour cream to brownie batter provides richness and helps bind the batter for a dense, chewy texture due
to its high-fat content.
It also contributes to moisture retention, thanks to its high water content, while adding a subtle tang that balances the sweetness without being overpowering.
For both homemade and boxed brownies, add ½ cup of full-fat sour cream to the batter. You shouldn't need to adjust any other ingredients in the recipe.
