Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.
- In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking oil spray. Line with parchment paper (or baking paper); set aside.
- Combine hot melted butter, oil and sugar together in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk well for about a minute. Add the eggs and vanilla; beat until lighter in colour (another minute).
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until JUST combined (do NOT over beat as doing so well affect the texture of your brownies).
- Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top out evenly. (OPTIONAL: Top with chocolate chunks or chocolate chips.)
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centre of the brownies in the pan no longer jiggles and is just set to the touch (the brownies will keep baking in the hot pan out of the oven). If testing with a toothpick, the toothpick should come out dirty for fudge-textured brownies.
- Remove and allow to cool to room temperature before slicing into 16 brownies.

SPELT COCOA BROWNIES
Now that I get an allergic skin reaction from anything containing wheat, I've been working to convert my favorite recipes so I can enjoy treats with friends. Here is my modified version of an old Betty Crocker Cooky Book recipe that received high marks from others at a recent gathering. Note: Spelt is an ancient grain that may or may not be tolerated by others who have problems with wheat.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease 8"x8"x2" pan -- I use the butter wrapper for this.
- Sift dry ingredients together and set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla and beat at low speed until well blended.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix just until fully blended.
- Spread in pan.
- Bake about 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for about 15 minutes before cutting into 1½" squares.
Tips:
- Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results.
- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to combine more easily and create a smooth batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help them to set properly.
