Pam’s Brownies (with frosting)
Description
Quite similar to these, but my cousin’s wife, Pam, always serves them with the frosting, so why mess with a tasty thing? The batter is easily mixed with a whisk, but I used my electric hand beaters for the frosting, and if you want to always have a stash ready, my sister-in-law has frozen them, iced and everything, and they’ve worked out beautifully – enjoy!
Ingredients
1 c. brown sugar AND 1/4 c. cocoa AND 3/4 c. flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten AND 1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 c. butter, melted
Frosting
1 1/2 c. icing sugar AND 2 T. cocoa
2 T. butter, softened
1 t. vanilla
boiling water, by the tablespoon
Instructions
For the brownies – butter an 8 x 8 cake pan and preheat the oven to 325. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 dry ingredients, then add in the 3 wet and whisk until smooth. Scrape the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 18-20 minutes until the middle is just set. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before icing.
For the frosting – carefully try to integrate the first 4 ingredients before turning on your electric mixer. Add in a splash of boiling water, beat well, and then continue to add boiling water by the tablespoon until your frosting is the consistency that you want – you won’t need much so be careful! Frost the cooled brownies and serve!
