Can't Be Beat Brownies

1. 1

   Mix the flour, sugar, salt and cocoa in a bowl until they are blended well.

2. 2

   Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients as you would into a pie crust dough.

3. 3

   Add the eggs and vanilla (and nuts) and mix until dough is moist.

4. 4

   The batter will be stiff.

5. 5

   Pour into a greased pan and bake at 350 until a toothpick comes out clean.

6. 6

   I use an 8 x 8 pan because I like thick brownies.

7. 7

   I bake them between 25- 30 minutes.

8. 8

   A 9 x 13 pan would bake between 20- 25 minutes.
