Stir and Go Sourdough Brownie Instructions

• Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease or line a 8x8 baking pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the brownie ingredients together.
• Using a electric hand mixer, whip together brown sugar, white sugar and egg. Color will turn lighter and become fluffier. This is the key to a crackly crust.

  Whisk in butter, sourdough starter, egg and vanilla extract.

  Finally, add the salt, baking soda and flour. Stir in chocolate chips until just mixed.
• Cook in the oven for about 30-35 minutes. 

  The brownies are done when the edges are cracked and caving towards the center. If a toothpick is inserted it will come out clean.

  These brownies will cook after being removed from the oven. Do not overcook or the brownies will not have a fudge like consistency.
• Once cooked, allow to cool within the pan. Cut the brownies in half and then across four to six times, giving long rectangular shapes.

  Place a wire rack on top of a cookie sheet to catch extra drippings from cream cheese frosting or melted white chocolate. Place sliced brownies onto the wire rack.
• Making the Mummies
• If you use cream cheese frosting, either thin the frosting with milk or heat up until the mixture is runny. If you use white chocolate, melt the chips until smooth.
• Begin to create a 'mummy' effect by moving a piping bag, wire whisk or fork with the frosting or white chocolate over the top of the brownies - giving a mummy effect. Top with edible googly eyes.
• Sit at room temperature until set. To speed up setting time, place in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy!
• Long Fermented Sourdough Brownie Instructions
• To make this long fermented sourdough brownies, mix together all the brownie ingredients (but the egg) together. Cover with plastic wrap tightly so the brownie batter does not dry out.
• Allow it to sit at room temperature to meet your fermentation goals (4-12 hours). If you want it to ferment longer, allow this brownie batter to sit in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking. Before baking, allow to warm up to room temperature and mix in the egg.
• Cook the sourdough brownies as outlined. Enjoy!
