From Carl Sandburg Middle School, Old Bridge, NJ, from 1974 or 1975. I'm so glad to have this recipe from my past. Thanks Susan!
Ingredients:
2 unsweetened chocolate squares
1/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
2 eggs, well beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. In the top of a double boiler (or in bowl in a microwave), melt butter and chocolate.
2. Remove from heat.
3. Beat in sugar.
4. Add eggs, beat until bubbles form (this step is really important-keep beating until you get bubbles).
5. Add vanilla.
6. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt.
7. Spread in a greased 8x8-inch pan.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350°F.
9. Options: add some yogurt or applesauce for moister brownies. Stir in some chocolate chips and/or raisins (soak the raisins in water and drain, before adding) at the end.
