- In a mixing bowl or bowl of stand mixer fittered with the paddle attachment, beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

- Use a rubber spatula to fold in flour (and any mix-ins) until no streaks of flour remain.
- Spread into pan evenly. Bake for 20-30 minutes until somewhat firm and a crust has formed on top. A toothpick WILL NOT come out clean. Brownies should seem underbaked.
