Brownies

I got this recipe off the back of a baking cocoa container, and changed it just a tad to suit our taste. It's fairly simple and produces yummy brownies.

Preheat oven to 350.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter or margarine (melted)
3/4 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup nuts (optional)

In large mixing bowl combine: flour, sugar and cocoa.  Mix in eggs; then melted butter, vanilla and nuts (if desired), mix well. Pour into greased 8 x 8 baking pan.

Bake 20 - 25 minutes.

Helpful hints:

If desired you can add: nuts (your choice of nuts), chocolate chips or coconut.

You can add any or all of these items into the mix after everything else is well blended, or you can add to the top of the batter after it is poured into baking pan.

This recipe can be doubled, just increase pan size to a 9 x 13 baking dish and may have to add a few minutes to baking time. Check for doneness at 25 minutes and go from there adding a couple minutes at a time until done.
