eglamkowski's Journal: recipe of the day

Ok, I guess this will be my last regular entry. As a meal would be ended on a dessert, so my cookbook will end on a dessert too! Some old-fashioned Brownies - forget the store bought crap, make your own! Yum! Sweet, fattening, sugary, yummy goodness to get you all obese and diabetic :-p

2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup butter
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1 cup of sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon double acting baking powder
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla

Pre-heat oven to 350F.

Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler.

Remove from the heat and add all the other ingredients, mixing it all thoroughly.

Butter an 8" square pan and pour the mixture into it. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.

Cool and cut into squares.

If you prefer your brownies a bit more cake-like, after you turn off the oven, leave the brownies in the oven for another 30-60 minutes while the oven cools down. Or even just bake for 20 minutes and then turn off the oven and leave brownies in til cool.
