When he was a feisty young bachelor, the Brick would make a pan of
brownies every weekend, then sit down and help his brother eat the whole
pan-ful while watching Saturday Night Live. He still loves a good
brownie...and these, thanks to thirty years of tweaking on my part, are
pretty darn good.
DAVY'S DELIGHT BROWNIES
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1/4 pound margarine or butter (1 stick)
8 heaping tablespoonfuls of cocoa
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup flour (a heaping measure, if you live in high altitudes)
Options: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts
DIRECTIONS:
Butter or spray a 9" square or round pan. Microwave butter until melted, then quickly stir in the rest of the ingredients. (This is one baked good you don't want to over-mix, so no worries if it's still a bit lumpy.) Pour into pan -- top with one or both options, if desired -- bake approx. 25 min., until the top is springy when you gently push on it. (Don't check it with a toothpick - it will still be 'dirty.')
Let cool, then cut into 9 squares....or 6, if you're feeling generous.
This recipe doubles beautifully -- use a 9x13 pan. You may want to use 5 eggs instead of 4...but otherwise, just double the ingredients.
Try your brownies with a little icing, as well -- melt chocolate chips (along with a few spoonfuls of milk or sour cream) and spread on top. Bliss.
