I'm too lazy to convert to mod.recipes format and besides, coming from a copywrited source, I believe this recipe can not be included. The source is Bon Appetite, probably 7-10 years ago. I've excluded the frosting which I never tryed and I think is excessive (did I say excessive negatively concerning chocolate?) Bittersweet Brownies 350 degrees, 40-45 minutes (or less), 9 by 13 greased pan, yield 40 1.5 cups sifted all-purpose flour 7 oz cocoa 1.5 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 1/3 cups butter (part shortening okay) 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 1/4 cup corn syrup 2 tsp vanilla 2 cups coarsely chopped nuts (optional, they specify toasted almonds) Preheat oven and grease pan. Sift first group of ingrediants. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time, then corn syrup and vanilla. Beat well and add nuts. Spead into prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes (they lie, it seems to take 30-35, at least in pyrex at 325). DO NOT OVER-BAKE. These brownies are still soft in the middle when done, the edges will be slightly firm. Let cool completely in the pan or they will turn to mush when you cut them. I remember once being so stoned when I made these that I misinterpreted cups of butter for sticks (of butter, not of Thai). The brownies came out fine, this recipe is probably too rich (did I say that about chocolate, yea gods, I must be on a diet!) -- Jerry Natowitz ihnp4!houxm!hropus!jin (official) ihnp4!opus!jin (temporary) Institute for the Study of Non-existent Phenomena
