Rain's Chocolate Brownies
 

This recipe is based on brownie recipe sent to me by one of my American pen-pals, Loraine Carter. 

Loraine was a (decorative ceiling) customer of mine a couple of years ago and we have kept in touch ever since. 

She now has her own business called LSC Creations and she hand paints beautiful ornamentation.  She is a very artistic lady.

1 cup of plain flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Method:

Pre heat oven to 160 degrees Celsius.

Gently melt chocolate and butter together over low heat in a pan.  Cool slightly. 

In a bowl gradually add the sugar to the eggs, beating thoroughly after each addition. 

Blend in the chocolate mixture and stir in the flour.  Add vanilla and nuts.

Notes:

This is the first Brownie recipe I ever tried.  The whole lot was eaten within about 12 hours.  Success, I would say!
