Hi everyone! Just another quick post on this crazy day. I can't seem to be home long enough to get anything done! After tomorrow, I'll be back to normal! I promise! This is my grandma's brownie recipe.Grandma's Brownies
12" dutch oven
2 cups sugar
1 cup margarine
4 eggs
3 squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup broken nuts (I left these out--nut allergies)
Cream sugar and margarine until fluffy. Beat in eggs. Blend well then add melted chocolate and nuts. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, mix well then add to chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Spread into a 12" dutch oven and bake at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until no imprint is left when touched with fingers. Do not over bake. Serves 12.

The Review
I really can't say anything bad about grandma's brownies. I think I got my love of cooking from her. She was amazing. As a general rule, I prefer fudgey brownies, but if I make cake brownies then these are the ones I want. I'm eating one right now, in fact. Sometimes we frost them, sometimes not, today is a not. But they are yummy either way. Grade A.
What would the three squares of chocolate be in cups or spoons or even weight. Sometimes I have problems with ingredients as ours in Australia dont always come packaged the same as other places. :)
ReplyDeleteThe squares of chocolate are 1 oz. each. You can also substitute 3 Tbs. of unsweetened baking cocoa + 1 Tbs. vegetable oil for each square of chocolate. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks Toni - good luck with the competition I look forward to seeing the photos when you get time.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, thank you Grandma! I made these for our last camping trip (my first Dutch Oven attempt) and they were delicious. Thanks so much for sharing.

My grandma was a great cook and I thank her and miss her every time I make these. I'm so glad you enjoyed them!
DeleteSo sorry for the loss of your grandma. :( I have a cherished one that's 92, so I know how special they are. Pics of the brownies on my blog now. Thanks again. They were divine! Suzie
