I LEARNED to make these brownies in 1957 in home economics class. They were the first goodies I'd ever baked by myself. Now, 40 years later, I still make a batch occasionally. The recipe calls for basic ingredients on hand in most every kitchen, and the rich chocolate flavor is delicious. -Lorraine Silver, Chicopee, Massachusetts Ingredients:
1/4 cup shortening |
3 tablespoons baking cocoa |
1 egg |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, cream shortening and cocoa; beat in egg, sugar and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture. Beat on low speed until thoroughly combined. Stir in walnuts.
2. Pour into a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 8 brownies.
