Brownies
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com.
1/2 cup butter
2 squares (2 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon real vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts (Jeffrey's Spiced Pecans)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Microwave butter and chocolate in batter bowl on High 1 minute, until melted. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spread batter in a non-stick 8 by 8 inch brownie pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until done. Allow to cool on rack 30 minutes before slicing, using a plastic knife.
OR, if desired, bake these in your microwave oven instead by spreading batter in glass cake or quiche dish. Microwave, uncovered, on High 3 to 6 minutes or until the top looks set and not too moist. Allow to stand 5 minutes. Cut into bars or squares. They will be softer than those baked conventionally. I like to serve these on a puddle of good quality chocolate sauce with a chocolate covered strawberry on the side. And sometimes, we get to have these with chocolate covered spinach chips!
