My go to site for baking recipes is Smitten Kitchen.

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Asmittenkitchen....

I realize adding `site:...` is probably fucking around. But trust me, her brownie recipes are worth it. :-)

Isn’t the point of Google search to not have to do that?

Sure, that's why I added the disclaimer. I'm just trying to help Fricken out with some good brownie recipes.

Google lists dozens of recipe sites when I search for "brownie recipes" and honestly, how many different ways can you change a basic brownie recipe. So I'm sure almost any of them will do. Any seems like reasonable result. I'm not sure what algorithm Google should use to pick the best or most reliable recipe site.

I just happen to know, having cooked many of SKs recipes, that they are good recipes that almost anyone can follow.

They're not trying to find a good brownie recipe. They're using it as a test phrase for search engines.

My go-to site is King Arthur's 200th Anniversary Cook Book. Literally zero fucking around, packed with every classic baking recipe known to man, and gobs of straight-forward baking chemistry lessons a five year old could understand. Empowerment.

Katherine Hepburn has the brownie thing smacked down. Look no further.
