My paternal grandmother, Roa, had a sister, Flora. One of Flora's daughters was Janean - making her my father's first cousin. Janean had at least two daughters, and by now she's probably also a grandma ... making her eligible to be included in the Grandma Recipes.
As to what that makes her relationship to me to be exactly, I think it's my first cousin, once removed, but when we get to the greats and removed-s, I just like to say she's a cousin. We're all family. That's all that counts.
This is another recipe from that side of the family's cookbook, and once again, is missing vital pieces of the instructions. This time, the temperature at which to bake the brownies. I went with 350 degrees, as that seems to be the standard.
Cousin Janean’s Chewy Chocolate Brownies
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate [2 squares Bakers]
1 cup sugar [white]
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons margarine
1 cup flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup evaporated milk
1 cup chopped nuts [used walnuts]
Mix sugar, margarine, egg and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Stir in chocolate that has been melted.
Then add half the flour and the baking powder. [Mix well.]
Add milk. [Mix well.]
Stir in remaining flour and nuts.
Bake 30 minutes [at 350 degrees] in 9 inch [square] pan.
It may not have been as quick and easy as the pre-mixed boxed brownies, but they do taste so much better.
