These are delicious! I am making some today.
When the weather gets bad in Missouri, you'll often read about how Judy makes her brownies for her utility repair guys. Judy's blog is Patchwork Times and here's her *famous* brownie recipe.
Judy's Homemade Brownies
Ingredients for Brownies:
1/2 c. butter
1 c. white sugar
2 eggs
1tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
Ingredients for Icing:
3 T. butter, softened
3 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 T. honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. powdered sugar
1 – 2 tsp. milk or cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour an 8? square baking pan.
In a medium to large saucepan, melt 1/2 c. butter. Remove from heat. Stir in sugar, eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla. Stir in cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder.
Spread in pan. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Do not overcook! (I usually test mine after about 16 minutes and rarely let them bake the full 20 minutes.)
To make icing:
Stir together 3 T. butter, 3 T. cocoa powder, honey, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Add milk if necessary to get to spreading consistency.
Spread over warm brownies.
