Delicious recipe
Mom finally found the source of this wonderful brownie recipe her mom made. It's from a cookbook/home economics book titled The Art of Cooking and Serving published by Procter and Gamble, 1927. Yes, you read that right. 1927. I'm going to list the recipe as they printed it and put the modifications Mom made in parentheses. It's a chocolate brownie recipe called Chocolate Indians. No, I don't know why it's called that. It should be Chocolate Native Americans. :) If you make this easy recipe you'll never buy a boxed brownie mix ever again. It's that fucking good.
Chocolate Indians
1/2 cup Crisco (or butter)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 cup flour
1 cup walnuts, chopped (not necessary, IMO, since I don't like them)
2 squares unsweetened chocolate (or 1/4 cup Hershey's unsweetened cocoa)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream Crisco and sugar together. Add beaten eggs, salt and flour. Add nuts, melted chocolate and vanilla and mix well. Spread evenly in a greased pan (or nongreased, 8x8 non-glass pan). Bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 20-25 minutes.
Seriously, all you have to do is mix all the ingredients with a hand mixer. To make it extra special, fold in 1/4 cup Nestle mini-morsels to the batter after mixed. Dust with Confectioners' sugar after cooled. Then try not to eat the whole pan in one sitting. :D
