Easiest Brownies

Easiest Brownies

Serves 16.

These were the brownies served at a reception for the Victorian Society in America held in New Paltz, NY 30 years ago.

I always make it now with brown sugar and usually with a high quality bittersweet chocolate rather than the unsweetened chocolate and white sugar in the original recipe, but I am posting the original as a tribute to those who gave it to me.

• 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
  
• 1/3 c butter
  
• 1 c sugar
  
• 2 unbeaten eggs
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  
• 1/2 c sifted flour
  
• 1/2 c chopped nuts (optional)
  

Melt choclate and butter together.

Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients

Pour into greased and floured 8" square pan and bake for 23 minutes at 350F.

Cut into 16 squares WHEN COOL.

Improvement: Use high quality bittersweet chocolate and reduce the butter and sugar by a bit. Substitute brown sugar for the white sugar.
