Baking instructions

4. Whisk egg yolk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
5. Add cocoa powder, salt, and flour till well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Scoop the batter into the baking pan and spread it evenly throughout the pan using a spatula or flat surface of the knife.
6. Put the baking tray in the oven and bake till a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the batter.
7. Once the brownie is done remove it from the oven and cool it down.
8. Now make the ganache by chopping chocolate and corn syrup in a heatproof bowl. Set it aside.
9. Take a pot and heat the heavy cream for a minute.
10. Pour the cream over the chocolate and start mixing everything. If you notice lumps you can put it in the microwave for 30 seconds for the lumps to melt.
11. Use the spoon to spread the ganache over the brownies that are left to cool.

Tips
● Refrigerate the ganache for a few hours before putting it on the brownie.
● You can store the baked brownies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
● Measure the dry ingredients properly to get fudgy, chewy, and moist brownies. If you add too much of them then your brownies will become dry.
● Making sprinkles at home
● Use butter and not oil. Butter makes brownies softer and fudgier.
● Don't skip corn syrup in the recipe as it helps brownies to become chewy.
● Don't miss putting in the extra yolk which makes the brownies more rich, fudgy, and chewy.
● You should dissolve the sugar into the brownie batter properly. If not, your brownies won't look shiny.
