nice and moist, more like candy than cake. i wonder what they're like the next day, i certainly never found out! 1/4 c of flour is in fact enough. be careful not to overbeat the eggs or the batter after adding them. I did and the bubbles joined to make two big super-bubbles that made the uncut brownie look like a mountain range. my bad!

    I recently checked out a cookbook book from our local library, which happened to have Katharine Hepburn's brownies in it. The only difference I noted was that the amount of salt called for was 1/2 teaspoon. If you don't want dry corners and outside edges, I recommend baking them for only 35 minutes. Unfortunately, I baked mine for the full 40 minutes and that was too long! Other than the outside edges being dry due to overbaking, I found the brownies to be extremely moist and very fudgy!
