THESE BROWNIES were enjoyed by everyone at our family's Fourth of July picnic. Mama always said that they didn't need frosting because they were the richest brownies around! I think she was right.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts, divided
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth. Combine dry ingredients; stir into batter. Fold in half of nuts.
2. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining nuts. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until brownies pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool on wire rack. Cut into squares. Yield: 2 dozen.
