Brownies

1/2 cup melted butter
5 tablespoons cocoa
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Melt butter and cocoa together in a saucepan. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Stir in eggs, then sugar (order is important), then flour and baking powder. Bake in a greased 8x8 square pan or in round cake pan for 20 to 25 minutes at 350. It's important not to overbake them. They should be set but not dry in the middle when removed from the oven, so you might want to check them after about 18 minutes or so since each oven cooks differently - plus pans make a difference.

I usually double this and make them in a 9x13 inch pan.

Thanks Stacey - yes, it's 350. I've added that to the recipe now. Thanks for helping keep me straight! (or trying)
