Anyone remember "I Love You Alice B. Toklas"? Yikes, we're showing our age again. Set the oven @ 350°F/175°C. Butter and lightly flour dust an 8" baking pan. Melt the chocolate and butters together in a saucepan using low heat and constant stirring. Once smooth set the chocolate aside to completely cool. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl beat the eggs with a mixer while slowly adding the sugar. Mix until clear and pale in color. Pour in the chocolate/butter and vanilla with constant stirring. Slowly blend in the flour and the liquor. Last, but not least, add the nuts. Bake for 25-30 minutes (less time is chewier and more time is drier). Heck, some of us just eat the mix. After baking, cool the brownies and cut into 12 - 16 squares (personally, I like triangles). Each brownie is going to contain approximately 1/4 to 1/3 tb of better bud butter. This is potent. It's also very delicious. Do not operate heavy machinery or drive. RECOMMENDED BEVERAGE: Morning time tea or coffee is a great accompaniment. I prefer Earl Grey tea or Guatemalan Antigua coffee. If the brownies are served after dinner, then once again coffee can be served or a dessert wine like a good tawny Port. Be careful mixing alcohol with these potent brownies though, it can make ones stomach a bit upset. From this basic recipe you can create literally hundreds of variations. Try glazing the brownies or sprinkling powdered sugar and raspberries on top. http://www.letfreedomgrow.com/recipes Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
