Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 sq butter
  • 2 c sugar
  • 1/2 c cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 c sifted flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Melt butter and cocoa; add to beaten eggs and sugar and mix.
  2. Add salt, sifted flour, and baking powder; mix well.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased dripper pan.
  4. Bake at 370°F (188°C) for 27 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder. Ensure the butter is fully melted before adding it to the eggs and sugar mixture for a smoother batter. If you're out of baking powder, you can substitute it with baking soda mixed with a bit of vinegar or lemon juice. For a unique twist, add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.

Serving Suggestions

These Wedding Brownies are perfect on their own, but they can be enhanced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. They also pair wonderfully with whipped cream and fresh berries for a delightful dessert. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a slice of My Grandma'S Penuche for a sweet treat combo.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to three months. To reheat, simply microwave for a few seconds or warm them in the oven at a low temperature until just heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of flour?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour or almond flour for a different texture. Keep in mind that the results may vary slightly, so adjustments in liquid ingredients might be necessary to achieve the right consistency.

What if I don't have cocoa powder?

If you're out of cocoa powder, you can melt dark or semi-sweet chocolate to use instead. For every 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, replace it with 4 ounces of melted chocolate, and reduce the fat in the recipe by the same amount.

How can I make these brownies more fudge-like?

To achieve a more fudge-like texture, reduce the flour to 1 1/2 cups and increase the butter to 2 1/2 squares. Additionally, baking them for a shorter time can help keep them moist and chewy.
