We have a lot of church socials and I'm always looking for something new and different to prepare. These brownies, drizzle with a sweet maple sauce, are a sure hit...with or without the ice cream. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened |
2 cups packed brown sugar |
4 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 cups chopped pecans |
maple cream sauce: |
1 cup maple syrup |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup evaporated milk |
vanilla ice cream and chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in pecans.
2. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
3. For the sauce, combine syrup and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in milk. Cut brownies into squares; cut in half if desired.
4. Place on dessert plates with a scoop of ice cream. Top with sauce; sprinkle with pecans. Yield: 20 servings.
