Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Directions:

  1. Mix the flour, sugar, salt and cocoa in a bowl until they are blended well.
  2. Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients as you would into a pie crust dough.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla (and nuts) and mix until dough is moist. The batter will be stiff.
  4. Pour into a greased pan and bake at 350° until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. I use an 8 x 8 pan because I like thick brownies. I bake them between 25- 30 minutes.
  6. A 9 x 13 pan would bake between 20- 25 minutes.
