saucepan brownies
American flagCompany coming and need a quick and easy dessert? Quick Saucepan Brownies to the rescue! All ingredients are mixed by hand right in the pan… no electric mixer or separate bowl needed.
These are very good with a scoop of ice cream while they are still warm and topped off with a drizzle of chocolate syrup. We sprinkled ours with powdered sugar… these are very rich brownies – no icing needed.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 C margarine (Land o Lakes)
  • 1 C sugar
  • 3 T cocoa
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 C flour

Do this:
Melt margarine in saucepan and remove from heat. Add the rest if ingredients in order given and stir after each addition. Make sure the batter has cooled down before adding eggs. Pour in greased 8″ x 8″ pan
and bake in preheated 350º oven for 12-15 min. or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Recipe may be doubled and baked in a 9″ x 13″ cake pan. Increase baking time to 30-35 minutes.
