These brownies are the BEST and ALWAYS turn out yummy! This recipe is from my grandmother which I've altered ever so slightly by adding a little olive oil in the final step to make them even more deliciously moist! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
3 oz. unsweetened chocolate or 6 Tbsp. cocoa
1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup sifted flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
pinch salt
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1Tbsp. olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 pyrex pan and set aside.
Melt butter with cocoa on low heat. Let cool. In one bowl, combine sifted flour, baking powder and salt, and set aside. In mixer, beat eggs with sugar a little at a time and blend for 2-3 minutes. Take chocolate mixture and stir in vanilla. Pour entire chocolate mixture into eggs and sugar mixture and mix until blended. Add flour mixture and blend. Now, while on low setting add olive oil until everything is smooth. Pour into your prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350. Let cool on a rack and watch these sink down into the pan and create the yummiest brownies ever! Yields 16 brownies.
I have always loved to cook! I was inspired as a young girl watching both my Grandmother and Mother cook at home everyday. In the summer I have so many fond memories of my Grandmother picking the apples that had fallen from our trees and making the best applesauce I had ever tasted. I was under her elbow or by her side as she made pies, cakes, doughnuts, and much more. This is the reason I love to cook and why I call myself "Millie's Cafe", named after my Grandmother Mildred.
My Boys!
