Home Ec. Brownies

Happy birthday to your great-Auntie R. today! In honor of her day, this recipe is from her 7th grade Home Ec. class. I found it folded neatly in great-Grandma's recipe box this summer. It was even in her 13-year-old handwriting. What a treasure!

2 oz. unsweetened chocolate baking squares
1/3 C. shortening
1 C. sugar
2 eggs
1/2. tsp vanilla
1/2 C. + 2 T. flour
1/2 tsp. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Melt shortening and chocolate in pan over low. Remove from heat.
Add in sugar, eggs, vanilla.
Stir in remaining ingredients.
Grease 8x8 pan, and bake @ 350* for 25 minutes until brownies pull away from edge of pan.

And since Auntie R. is such an ice cream freak, I'd serve these warm with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream and hot fudge!
