The recipe says to add eggs and flour, but does not specify amounts. I used 2 eggs and 1 cup flour, and I cut down the malted milk in the brownies to 1 cup. Baking about 28 minutes produced a cake with sunken middle, but it was still good. For the glaze, I melted the 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 oz. unsweetened chocolate, added dash salt, and cut the sugar to 1/2 cup., then added the 1/4 cup malted milk powder. Thinned with 1 - 2 tablespoons milk, it made an easy-to-spread glaze. the recipe as written sounded more like a frosting than a glaze. I wish recipe writers would proofread what they have written to make sure they have included ingredients--like eggs and flour!
