Texas Brownies

When I was the Editor of the church cookbook, Yankee Peddler Fare, this was one recipe I received numerous submissions for. Very popular. I frost with ganache and garnish with pecans. It may not be what you are looking for but here goes:

• 2 c sugar
  
• 2 c flour
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/2 c butter
  
• 6 T cocoa
  
• 1 c water (or coffee)
  
• 1/2 c vegetable oil
  
• 1/3 c buttermilk
  
• 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix sugar, flour and soda in large bowl.

2. Bring butter, cocoa, water, oil and buttermilk to a boil and pour over flour mixture. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.

3. Bake in greased and floured 11 x 17 inch sheet pan for 20-25 minutes.
