My grandmother, Mrs. Dot Luquet, formerly of Mazant Street in da
Ninth Ward of New Orleans, makes the best brownies known to man. Simple,
rich, moist ... yum!
The brownies
- 1-1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 10 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup pecans
Combine all ingredients, pour into a 9x14-inch buttered baking pan and
bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
The icing
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 7 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups confectioner's sugar
Combine all ingredients. When the brownies are cool, spread over the top
and cut into desired serving sizes -- about 1 inch square, or 2-3 inches
for a restaurant-sized serving.
