Where did we go wrong.

Dear Mattie,

We had high expectations of these brownies given the high recommendations and clear instructions. We used the same ingredients and followed the instructions but to our disappointment ours turned dry and pretty tasteless. Would you have any idea why this might be?

Sorry they didn't work out Paivi! Due to the involvement of this recipe, it's possible that I didn't make something clear enough which may have caused you to add too little of one ingredient or two much of another. Or, your oven is running a little on the hot side and it dried them out. These brownies are pretty sensitive to over baking.

"Unfortunately sauteing with your butter recipe ends up in unwanted clumps due to xantham gum being fried at high temperatures. Perhaps you could use something that melts. You are right about the acidic taste. The vinegar flavor ruins the butter experience if you were to spread it on bread to be eaten directly. Lemon juice has the same effect. Moreover, I did try organic coconut oil which resulted in the best flavor. But, as I am sure everyone knows, organic oil is extremely expensive. It is also interesting to note that this butter for some reason will collect mold rather quickly if not used soon enough. Freezing only retards the mold growth. How long do you hold your butter before using? Have you tried other neutral tasting acids with..."
