1 each stick butter or margarine
2 each squares unsweetened chocolat
1 cup sugar
2 each eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup flour
1 cup chopped nuts
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the butter and chocolate
together in a large saucepan over very low heat. Be sure you
don't let the butter and chocolate burn! Beat the eggs. Let the
butter and chocolate cool a bit, then add the beaten eggs and all
the other ingredients. Stir together until well blended. Grease
an 8 inch square baking pan and pour in the brownie batter. Bake
for 20 minutes and place the baking pan on a rack to cool. While
the brownies are still warm, cut into squares but don't remove
from the pan until cool. They will be too sticky. Sprinkle with
a little confectioner's sugar if you like. Now don't eat too
many!!

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Closer to modern times, we find two interesting cookery books from the 14th Century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the rich people of those days. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books are increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money. |
