Introduction:
My goal of this blog is to focus on a simple brownie recipe and see how changing certain factors will affect the overall taste. I choose to focus on brownies because it is a dessert that most people love and doesn’t require too many ingredients. Within this experiment, we will see chemistry present through denaturation and coagulation. We will also examine how changing the amount of egg content will affect the overall taste and formation of brownies. I hope that at the end of reading this blog you are able to try a new way to make brownies and judge what works better for your taste buds.
