Question

How can I make brownies without coco powder?

Community Answer

If you don't have cocoa powder, it will be very challenging to make brownies. If its an allergy problem, then you can buy substitutions at the store. Otherwise, look up blondie recipes.

Question

Can I use regular butter instead of unsalted butter?

Community Answer

The only other kind of butter would be salted butter, which you can use in your brownie recipe, but you should not add any more salt if you do.

Question

What size pan do you use for these brownies?

Honey Custard 🍮

Community Answer

For the first two methods, use a typical 8 by 8 inch (22.5cm x 22.5cm) square baking pan, as this is standard for most brownies and brownie mixes. For the last method, any microwave safe dish should work.

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

Yes, margarine is an appropriate substitute for butter when baking. Margarine was purpose-made to be a butter clone.
