How To Make browned butter red velvet brownies

• 1

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by spraying with non-stick cooking spray and lining with parchment paper (optional, but I like to do it so I can lift the brownies right out of the dish).

  Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Stir constantly until butter has reached a light brown color and little "bits" have formed. It can be difficult to see the color of the butter as it foams a bit, so I go by smell-- it will be very fragrant, smelling almost like caramel. Pour the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer (no need to cool). Add the sugar and cocoa powder and beat until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing in between each addition until almost creamy.

  Add the salt, buttermilk, red food coloring, and vanilla. Add the flour mix well. Batter will be thick. Use a sturdy rubber spatula to spread batter in the 9x13 pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool, then cut into 2" squares to serve.
