Step 4: Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. 

Step 5: Add in vanilla. 

Step 6: Fold in flour a little bit at a time JUST until you no longer see flour streaks in the batter. 

Step 7: Spread the batter in the prepared pan.

~Making the Topping: 

Step 8: In a medium bowl, combine flour and sugar. 

Step 9: Add in the cold cubes of butter and mix with your hands until the mixture is combined and forms crumbs. 

Step 10: Sprinkle over brownie batter, gently pressing into the top.

Step 11: Bake for roughly 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter. 

Step 12: Let cool completely before cutting and serving.

Step 13: Eat and Enjoy!

~Recipe Notes:

*If using unsalted butter, make sure to add a pinch of salt to the batter.
