Quick Brownies

                                                                         


I like quickie recipes! I really do! Well, why not, if they turn out as good as these brownies! New Year's Eve had me rooting around among my recipe files for something nice to make and I chanced upon this recipe.  Mmm....Too good!

Readily available ingredients,  easy to follow measurements and an uncomplicated procedure make up this delicious recipe which scores high on taste.  Go ahead and try it. Believe me, it cannot get  simpler than this!!

Ingredients:
2 eggs                                                                                                                            
2 tbsp cocoa
1 cup brown sugar ( powdered)
1 tsp vanilla essence                                                                              
1 cup home baking flour ( maida)
1 cup oil
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup walnuts
1-2 tbsps milk( optional)

Method:    In a bowl mix oil and sugar. Add eggs, whipped  along with vanilla essence, to the batter. Sieve flour, baking powder and cocoa together and add gradually. Lastly add the walnuts dusted with flour. You can add some milk to the batter to get the desired consistency.

                                                                               

Pour in a greased baking dish and bake at 180 degrees C ( in  a  pre heated oven) for 35 -40 mins  or till a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.


                                                                             



Let the brownies rest in the baking dish for a while before cutting into slices.  Serve with ice cream and chocolate sauce or enjoy as it is.

  2. This recipe uses oil instead of butter. You could use about one oz or 25 gms of chocolate. If you want to use cooking chocolate instead of cocoa powder to get a richer chocolate flavour then don't bother. However if cocoa powder is not available where you live then you could try cooking chocolate.
