4 c Sugar
2 c Flour
1 1/3 c Unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ts Baking powder
2 ts Salt
1 c Vegetable shortening

Put all ingredients except the shortening in a large
bowl; use a spoon to mix until uniform. Cut in
shortening using either a pastry blender or your
fingertips until mixture looks like chocolate
cornmeal. Seal tightly in a plastic bag or jar, label
and store at room temperature.

Makes 8 cups of mix; enough for 4 pans of brownies

TO USE: Put 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla or orange
extract in a mixing bowl; beat slightly. Stir in 4
tablespoons melted butter or margarine which has been
cooled. Lightly spoon 2 cupsof the mix into the mixing
bowl; do not pack the mix when measuring. Beat well
with a spoon to make a somewhat smooth batter; stir in
1/2 cup chopped nuts, if desired. Spread into a
greased and floured 8 x 8 x 2 inch pan. Bake in a
preheated 350 degree F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes or
until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan then cut into squares.
