The next time you want to make brownies, try these instead of getting a box mix - you won't be disappointed! This is Bethany's mom's recipe.
Brownies:
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 c. butter
1/4 c. cocoa
1 c. water
1/2 c. buttermilk*
1 t. baking soda
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
Frosting:
1/2 c. butter
6 T. milk
1/4 c. cocoa
1 lb. powdered sugar (4 c.)
Mix flour and sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix butter, cocoa and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add to flour/sugar mixture and beat. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, baking soda, eggs and vanilla, then beat into the other mixture. Pour into a jellyroll pan and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Make frosting while brownies are baking – you’ll need to frost them while the brownies are still warm!
For frosting, bring milk, butter and cocoa to a boil. Remove from heat. Add powdered sugar and beat with electric mixer. Pour and spread over warm brownies. Let cool completely.
*if you don't have buttermilk on hand - put 1 1/2 tsp. vinegar into measuring cup, add enough milk to make 1/2 c. let stand for 5 minutes.
