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.

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.

My child has a peanut allergy, so I was relieved to find a scratch brownies recipe that didn't contain any peanuts or tree nuts. The brownies were delicious, and my child was able to enjoy them without worry.

I'm always up for a baking challenge, and these brownies were definitely worth the effort. They were a little more time-consuming to make than boxed brownies, but the end result was so much better.

I'm always looking for healthier dessert options, so I was intrigued by this recipe's use of whole wheat flour and natural sweeteners. The brownies were still indulgent, but they didn't make me feel guilty about eating them.

I'm gluten-free, so I was thrilled to find a scratch brownies recipe that didn't require any wheat flour. These brownies were delicious and satisfying, and I didn't miss the gluten at all.

I'm a huge chocolate fan, so these brownies were right up my alley. They were rich and chocolatey, with a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness.

These brownies were a hit at my party! They were fudgy and decadent, with a perfect crispy crust. My friends couldn't stop raving about them.
