This wee lass eats.

I've often wondered what other people do on their weekends. In our house, saturdays often involve a fair bit of cooking, laundry, cleaning up and if I'm lucky a bit of gardening. In the mornings, the kitchen is a nice bumbly place on a saturday - baking Janey's brownies, saves buying cake! This is my chum Janey's fail safe frugal recipe and when we make it, using her original kind hand written note, I think of her and her lovely partner fondly.[Edited in for the squirrel family, the recipe! Enjoy]

Janey's Brownies (makes 24 brownies)

8oz granulated sugar

1 1/2 oz cocoa

3 oz self raising flour

2 eggs

2 tablespoons milk

4 oz butter melted

(or use cooking margarine can't tell the difference)


Butter a tray, 20cm by 3cm, or 12" by 8". Mix the dry ingredients, beat eggs and milk, add melted (not hot) butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients with a wooden spoon (not difficult, like a muffin mix). Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated oven 180 o C (360 o F) oven, Gas 4-5. Works everytime like a charm - cost approximately £1-£1.50. Keep for a week or more in a sealed container. But not here. (!)

    1. Cheers - they are yummy - even I who doesn't like cake can have one of these! They are so easy and as its cocoa you get that lovely chocolate taste without faffing with melted chocolate - Jane is a genius!
      Cheers for popping over! x

  2. These are good and so easy to make. I confess to reducing the sugar down to 6ounces, but that's just personal taste. According to Himself they're good with homemade ginger ice cream or any good ice cream!
