Milkmaid's Recipe Box: Paula's Quick Brownies

Milkmaid's Recipe Box

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I'm such a FARMER at heart-- even a CALF knows that so much in life is about the FOOD! (A bit of a "bio" about me can be found way down near the bottom.)

You can find a recipe index entitled "Labels" down along the right side, starting below the picture of the farm. Then, below the "Label" list are pictures of some of my old "standbys"-- click on their picture and it should take you to the recipe.

You will see no advertising on my blog; this means there is no monetary benefit for me having "visitors" or "joiners"-- having said that, if you do wish to JOIN my blog, you can do so by scrolling w-a-y down to near the bottom of the page...

Paula's Quick Brownies

Paula gave me this ingredient list for the brownies she makes. Quick 'n easy... and good.

INGREDIENTS:

2 sticks softened butter
2 cups sugar
4 whole eggs, slightly beaten
1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup cocoa
1 and 1/2 cups flour
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs. Mix. Add the baking powder, salt and cocoa. Stir in. Lastly, add the flour and nuts (optional). Stir only long enough to incorporate.

Bake in greased 9x13-inch pan at 350-degrees for about 30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick. (Don't over bake.)
