The Best Brownies!

3/10/2015

Oldie but a goodie!

Our City of Lakes Garden Club meets monthly and this month, a member, Ruth Hinrichs, hosted a luncheon for us at her home. For dessert she served these delicious brownies. All the members wanted the recipe. Ruth told us that the recipe is one she copied out of the Seventeen magazine when she was a teenager in 1943! I would say this recipe has withstood the test of time! Ruth says she doubles both the brownie recipe and the frosting recipe for a 9x13 pan.

Brownies:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
Cream together and add: 2 eggs and beat thoroughly.
Then add 5 1/3 Tbsps unsweetened cocoa, 1 tsp vanilla and mix well, stir in 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
Spread in greased 8x8 inch pan. bake for 35 minutes at 325 degrees, cool.

Quick Chocolate Frosting:
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 oz. (1 env.) chocobake
1 tsp vanilla
2-3 tsp milk
Mix altogether and beat until smooth. Refrigerate in warm weather. Think Spring!

I'm Kathy Lloyd. I grew up on a farm near Elmore, MN and have lived in Fairmont for over 44 years. I have always loved to cook, even when I was very young. I loved to stay with my Aunt Dorothy during my childhood. She was a great cook and used to give me freedom in the kitchen, teaching me along the way. She made recipes from our Norwegian heritage, along with pies, homemade doughnuts, yeast bread and cinnamon rolls.

Marrying a husband with a hearty appetite and raising 3 sons and 1 daughter gave me plenty of hungry appetites to satisfy! I worked as a nurse for 42 years and have been retired for 11 years. Even though I loved my work, I love having time to spend with my grandchildren, to experiment with new recipes and work with my flowers in the summer. Life has been very good to me, blessing me with my loving family and great friends!

I enjoy sharing my love of cooking and recipes with the readers of the Photo Press! (I have had my share of cooking failures over the years!)

All of us have our own versions of brownies! I have to be biased. When it comes to brownies, I have got say that my mom is the one who bakes the best brownies ever! I've noticed that there are similarities on your recipe, but there's also a difference. But nonetheless,. I am wiling to try your recipe since I am sure that you made it even more special. I will post in my own website once I ma done preparing it for my family and then, I will update you!
