Neat Eats Brownies

Hello Everyone!  I was looking through an old cook book called Neat Eats, and found this brownie recipe.  All the brownies I have ever made have been more cakey than I would have liked, so I was pleasantly surprised when these turned out beautifully fudgy.  The only change I would have made would be to make them thicker. 

Boston Brownies

2 squares semi-sweet chocolate (1 oz. each)

1/3 cup butter

2/3 cup all purpose flour

1/2 level teaspoon baking powder

pinch of salt

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350*.  Grease 8x8 square pan.  Break the chocolate into pieces and put in a small heatproof bowl with the butter.  Stand the bowl over a saucepan of hot water and stir until the chocolate has melted.  Remove from heat.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.  Stir in sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and chocolate mixture.  Beat until smooth.

Pour mixture into prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes - until the mixture rises and pulls away from the sides of the pan.  Allow to cool in pan.

I really enjoyed these brownies!  I hope you will give them a try!  The recipe had said that it made sixteen brownies, well, it lied.  This recipe made only nine decent sized brownies.  Well, in my opinion anyway!  Oh, and in his!
