This was a hit at my birthday dinner! Followed your recipe to the letter and the consistency was perfect! Really appreciate your tips of working with gelatin too.

Hi Jo
I’ve made this dough for different recipes multiple times and have never encountered this issue! I’ll try to see if I can replicate it next time…
Is the dough ripping through the hook or just flowing off the hook? If it’s not ripping off then it’s safe to be used.

It could also be that the dough is very warm after kneading and is more fluid?

If the dough isn’t ripping, then I would just recommend refrigerating the dough to firm up. Adding more flour will make it dry and crumbly.

Let me know how they turned out?

I’m having problems 🙁 I’ve just finished the Step 5 15 minutes kneading, and if anything the dough is more ‘liquid’ than it was at the start. When I checked at the 10 minute mark, a little bit lifted with the hook, but most of it slid through. At the 15 minute mark it poured off the hook without even sticking, and it is ”puddling’ at the bottom of the mixer. I weighed the ingredients rather than trusting to cup sizes, so I know the proportions were right. I’m adding extra HG flour to see if that works, but I’m not sure why it is so different to your pictures.
What am I doing wrong?

I’ve made several pavlovas and this recipe for the base is the best yet. Outside was perfectly crispy and the inside was soft and spongy. It’s my new go-to pavlova base recipe.

Comment on Best Fudgy Chocolate Brownies Ever! (Cocoa Brownies) by Dini

Hi Taryn
I’m not sure what happened… I bake these brownies at least once a month and never had raw centers. If you are sure your oven is calibrated then it could be the baking dish. I use metal pans that conduct heat evenly. If you use glass or porcelain pans or smaller pans then this will impact the baking times.

My brownies were still half raw after 40 minutes. It’s not my oven either.
