Ingredients
- 6 cups sifted flour
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 4 tsp. salt
- 2 1/2 cups cocoa
- 2 cups shortening
- 8 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups brownie mix
- 2/3 cup nuts, chopped (any kind)
Preparation
Step 1
Mix dry ingredients, add shortening and mix until it has the texture of cornmeal. Store in an airtight container.
Preheat oven for 15 minutes before baking to 350°F.
While the oven is heating, beat butter. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in vanilla and 2 cups of the brownie mix. Add nuts.
Transfer batter to an 8x8-inch square pan that has been well greased and floured (or line with foil leaving a "handle" hanging out over the sides for easy removal). Smooth the top with the back of a wet spoon.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
