Brownies = Chocolate = Tastebud Joy!
Here is the recipe for the brownies that were served at our Ladies Night. It is a lovely recipe as it is quick, easy and a crowd pleaser.
2 1/2 cups flour
3 cups sugar
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 cup Crisco
1/2 cup butter
6 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Stir the flour, salt and cocoa together in a small bowl and set aside.
In mixing bowl beat Crisco, butter, sugar and vanilla together until just smooth. Add eggs to the sugar mixture and beat till just blended. Now add dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes. Spread batter in greased 9x13. Bake at 350 for 25 or 30 minutes or until barely done. Don't over bake, a toothpick should come out just barely clean when tested in the center of the pan. Cool on wire rack.
