SAUCEPAN BROWNIES

I found this very old recipe for brownies in a recipe book printed over 50 years ago. What is a brownie? It is a type of cookie , the definition comes from America. The texture is fudge like and a little chewy. Now a days there are many recipes for 'brownies'... This early recipe is delicious .... Ingredients....85gm of butter/ marg, 60gm of dark chocolate, 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 cup of castor sugar, 2 eggs lightly beaten, 3/4 cup of plain flour, 1/4 tsp of salt, 3/4 cup of granulated nuts. Preheat your oven to 180 deg C. Line a 20cm square pan with cooking spray and line with baking paper. Put the butter/marg in a saucepan with the chocolate and melt over a low heat. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. When cooled but not set add the vanilla extract and sugar and beat well. Add the lightly beaten eggs a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix the flour and and salt together and add to the chocolate mixture. Finally stir in the granulated nuts. Now pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake inthe preheated oven for 25 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack and remove the baking paper, cool. When cool slice the brownies into squares. Store in an airtight container.
