Brownie Pudding

A recipe from an older edition of the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. (The recipe in the newest edition is not as good IMHO.) Warm, chocolate, yum!

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 8-9

Ingredients

• 1  cup flour
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 2  tablespoons  cocoa
• 2  teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (optional)

• 1⁄4 cup  cocoa
• 1 3⁄4 cups boiling water

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, 2 T. cocoa, baking powder, and salt). Add the milk, oil, and vanilla and mix until smooth. Stir in the walnuts, if desired. Transfer the batter to a 9x9 baking pan (or roughly equivalent sized pan).
