Preparation

3. Beat for 1 minute more (batter with be thin). Pour batter into a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

4. Meanwhile, for frosting, in a saucepan combine the 1/4 cup margarine or butter, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 3 tablespoons buttermilk or sour milk. Bring to boiling. Remove from heat. Add the powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until smooth. If desired, stir in pecans.

5. Pour warm frosting over warm brownies, spreading evenly. Cook in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Makes 36.
