Norm is a chocoholic. So he needs chocolate whenever he’s under the weather. Like, for instance, after a root canal. Brownies to the rescue.
Yield: 2 dozen
Ingredients:
- 1 stick of butter
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 t vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup flour
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8″ pan.
Melt the stick of butter over a medium-low heat. Add the cocoa and stir until blended with the butter.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from heat.
Add the sugar and stir until blended.
Mix in the eggs and vanilla on a low speed.
Add the flour a little at a time and mix. Too much at one time and it will fly everywhere. I know this from experience.
Now you have brownie batter. I would eat it just like this if I weren’t afraid of salmonella.
Pour the batter into the buttered pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for half an hour. Eat and enjoy.
Nothing like warm brownies on a cold winter day after a root canal. You can add nuts before pouring the batter into the pan if that is your predilection. But I wouldn’t recommend them if you’ve just had a root canal.
I had to take a bite while they were still warm. Don’t tell Norm!
King cake!
Ah, yes! King Cake! I do have a recipe for that – but the non-traditional King Cakes in France taste so much like McKenzie’s old-fashioned King Cakes that I didn’t have to make them this year. But I will tackle that before Mardi Gras if you so desire.
Stacy these are so good!! Easy and that is the best part. Thanks for sharing it, but I can’t promise I’m going to share the brownies!
Glad they came out well. If the family smells them baking, though, the cat’s out of the bag and you’ll have no choice but to share!
