Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cocoa, and salt; set aside.
- Combine the white sugar, dark brown sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Beat until creamy.
- Mix in the beaten eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, blending thoroughly.
- Melt the dark chocolate and fold it into the brownie batter for that deep chocolate flavor.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and the center remains slightly underbaked.
- For the butterscotch, in a saucepan, mix white sugar, dark brown sugar, water, and liquid glucose. Bring to a boil and simmer until it reaches a rich amber color.
- Stir in the butter, cream, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and luscious.
- Pour the butterscotch sauce over the brownies, sprinkle with extra sea salt, and let them cool before slicing into squares.
