Brownies From Scratch

Haven't been posting much lately and will try to catch up. Tonight going to a friend's for dinner so... not cooking a meal but baked some brownies to bring. We'll have these topped with some Starbuck's Coffee Ice Cream.

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 Cup butter
1 1/2 Cups sugar
1 Teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
3/4 Cups flour
1/2 Cup powdered chocolate (I use Ghiradelli gound chocolate and cocoa powder... nice stuff)
1/2 Teaspoon baking powder
1/2 Teaspoon salt

optional:
1/2 Cup chopped nuts

WHAT TO DO:

Blend melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs. In separate bowl, mix flour, chocolate, baking powder, and salt. Fold egg mixture into flour. Put in greased pan, bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
