Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 1 egg, unbeaten
• 2 squares Baker’s chocolate, melted
• ¾ teaspoon vanilla
• ½ cup flour
• ½ cup walnut meats, cut in pieces

Steps

1. Mix ingredients in order given. Line a seven-inch square pan with paraffine paper. Spread mixture evenly in pan and bake in a slow oven. As soon as taken from oven turn from pan, remove paper, and cut cake in strips, using a sharp knife. If these directions are not followed paper will cling to cake, and it will be impossible to cut it in shapely pieces.
