Brownies

So I have no idea where this recipe came from, all I know is that my mom has had it forever. The reason it became my signature item is because I was supposed to make them for the treats after one of my sister's ballgames. I am pretty sure I was only 10 or 11. Well after I baked them, the recipe said to frost with powdered sugar icing. I should have known better, but I just assumed that meant sprinkle with powdered sugar, so thats what I did, and now that is the only way I will eat them. Frosting just tastes like too much and these are perfect alone or with ice cream on top!

2 eggs
1 c sugar
1/2 c butter
3 Tbsp cocoa
1 c flour
1 pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla

Mix eggs and sugar. Add melted butter and cocoa and mix. Then add flour, salt and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Bake at 325 for 25-30 min. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.

This makes a 9x9 pan
Doubled makes 9x13 add 10min to cooking time
Tripled makes a large cookie sheet pan. - add 20 min to cooking time

Oooooh!!! I've been wanting to ask you for this recipe forever! I always loved your brownies - they're so different from the ones I grew up with (in a good way - comparing them is like comparing apples and oranges, even though they're both brownies. If that makes any sense.).
