Best Brownies from Pinterest...



A pin on Pinterest claims that these were the best brownies ever.  I would have to agree.  The recipe is from a blog called Saltbox House .   It seems her aunt was a lunch lady in a school cafeteria and this was their recipe for brownies.  Lucky kids!
Ingredients:.
1 cup of butter 
1/2 cup of cocoa ( I used double dutch dark cocoa from King Arthurs )
2 cups of flour
2 cups of sugar
4 eggs
4 teaspoons of vanilla
1 cup of chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
Melt butter, add cocoa, mix until smooth
Add flour, and sugar. Beat together and then add eggs, vanilla, and nuts. Mix until combined. Do not over stir. Pour into greased, floured  9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
The Chocolate Icing Recipe:
1/4 cup of softened butter
1/4 cup of canned milk (regular milk is fine)
1/4 cup of cocoa
3 cups of powdered sugar
dash of salt
Mix all together and frost as desired.

  12. Oh, I love brownies. Yum! She must have worked years ago when "lunch ladies" actually cooked. Now it seems all they do is open boxes and bags. I don't think anyone can adequately duplicate those wonderful yeasty rolls once served in the school cafeteria. Oh, memories!
