Here's our family's favorite:

Fudgy Brownies

Recipe courtesy of my godmother

4 eggs

2 cups sugar

½ tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

2/3 cup butter

5 tbsp cocoa

1 ½ cup flour

2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans

DO NOT BEAT.

Beating introduces air into the batter, and results in dry brownies

Beat eggs lightly with spoon.

Stir in sugar, salt, and vanilla

Stir in shortening and chocolate

Stir in flour and nuts

Pour batter into greased 9x13 glass baking dish (or line pan with parchment paper)

Bake at 325° 30-35 minutes
