TUESDAY'S TREAT

Brownies are an all-time favorite. It's hard to beat good ole chocolate brownies, moist and delicious, right out of the oven. I do believe that today's version of the Brownie will run a close second. It comes from Ginny McCormack's book SUNDAY IN THE SOUTH; and is certainly worth a try.

BROWN SUGAR BROWNIES

NOTE FROM GINNY: Light or dark brown sugar may be used in these delectably, chewy, old fashioned brownies.

2 tbsp. butter

2 eggs

1 c. brown sugar, packed

5 tbsp. flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 c. pecans chopped

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350.

Melt butter in a 9 inch square baking pan by placing it in the oven or microwave. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, baking soda and pecans. Add the egg mixture and stir well. Pour the batter on top of the butter in the baking pan. Do not stir. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool for 10-15  minutes and then flip, upside down, onto a cooling rack. Dust with powdered sugar.
