SCRATCH BROWNIES



Scratch Brownies image

Everyone has a favorite brownie recipe or, more likely, makes brownies from a mix. This recipe is so easy that you can forgo the expensive mixes and make these from items in your pantry. This recipe is from "The Betty Feezor Show," a North Carolina home economics television program that ran from the 1950s until Betty's untimely death in the late 1970s.

Provided by D. Todd Miller

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, melted
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
2 eggs
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 cups plain flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cream butter (or margarine) and sugar. This works well with a mixer, but you can do it by hand.
  • After creaming, switch to a spoon for mixing. Brownies tend to get tough if worked too much. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix just until smooth.
  • Pour in cocoa powder and flour. Again, mix until smooth and lumps are broken up, but don't overmix or work the batter too much.
  • At this point, if you want to add extras such as nuts, raisins, or chocolate pieces, just fold those in easily.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes in 2 pans size 8 inches by 8 inches. You can use a larger pan like the 9 x 9 and cook for a little longer, 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. If you use a single pan, then the Scratch Brownies are thicker.

BROWNIES FROM SCRATCH



Brownies from Scratch image

Usually I make brownies from a mix, but today I had no mix. The teenagers and hubby love having something sweet to eat after supper. This was so easy and took maybe 45 minutes tops to put together.

Provided by Melissa Etheridge

Categories     Chocolate

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 c vegetable oil
4 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 c sugar
2 medium eggs, beaten
3/4 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Add the ingredients in the order listed. Beat for approximately fifty strokes by hand.
  • 2. Pour into a greased glass pan. Bake on 350-degrees for 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The quality of your chocolate will make a big difference in the final product. Look for chocolate that is at least 60% cacao.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your brownies tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make your brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Brownies are a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious brownies that will be the hit of any party or gathering.
