Required Kitchen Tools

When preparing the El Chico Brownie Skillet, having the right kitchen tools makes all the difference. Here’s what I recommend:
  1. Cast Iron Skillet (8–10 inch): Essential for that restaurant-style crispy edge with a gooey center.
  2. Whisk: Helps blend wet ingredients smoothly for a fudgy texture.
  3. Mixing Bowls: One for melting the butter mixture and another for whisking the eggs.
  4. Rubber Spatula: Perfect for folding in flour and chocolate chips without overmixing.
  5. Oven Mitts: Skillets get hot quickly, safety first!
These simple tools set you up for success with a brownie skillet.
