Brownies

Like cornbread, there's no need to bother with any pre-packaged brownie mixes: it's cheaper, better-tasting and just as easy to make your own from scratch. Also, you can substitute 3 tablespoons of powdered cocoa plus 1 tablespoon of butter for each square of the unsweetened baking chocolate.

2 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 chopped nuts (optional)

Melt chocolate and butter. Mix flour with baking powder and salt.
Beat eggs well, and gradually beat in sugar; blend in chocolate and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture, add nuts.
Pour into greased 8x8 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Cool, cut into approximately 20 brownies.
