I have to tell them no, I have not yet been discovered.
But when they ask me for a brownie recipe, I gladly share the one that my Mother has been making for almost 30 years!
She got it from a lady named Wanda that worked with her at The Greeley Gas Company.
Wanda's Buttermilk Brownies
brownies:
- 1 stick of butter
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 4 tbsp cocoa
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
frosting:
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 6 tbsp milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, shortening, cocoa and water. Heat until almost boiling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Add the chocolate mixture, sugar, eggs, vanilla and buttermilk.
Grease a jelly roll pan and add the batter. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, combine butter, sugar and milk in a saucepan and boil for two minutes. Add the chocolate chips and stir until they are incorporated. Place the pan in cold water and beat with a mixer until spreading consistency.
Frost brownies and enjoy!
