Ingredients:
½
cup butter
1 cup
white sugar
1
teaspoon vanilla extract
½
cup flour
¼ teaspoon
salt
¼
teaspoon baking powder
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees
C). Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan.
2. In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter.
Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in 1/3
cup cocoa, 1/2 cup flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared
pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30
minutes. Do not overcook.
Hints:
1. If
I were to make this again, I would make it earlier in the year when it wasn’t
as cold outside because it was hard to get the fire started and once I did get
it started I ran inside to warm up and wasn’t able to monitor its progress
properly. It was also hard to move my hands because it was so cold, so getting
the coal onto the Dutch oven with tongs was difficult.
2. For
greasing the pan I just brought little plastic bags of flour and shortening, I
was also able to flip the bag inside out to spread the shortening so my hands
didn’t get icky.
3. Using
apple sauce as an egg substitute gave the brownies an unpleasant taste, so I
would probably try using sprite if I did it again.
