Blue Ribbon Brownies

So, they may not be that great but I did win a blue ribbon for them at the county fair. Again, this is an old recipe that I'm putting here because I don't want to misplace it.

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2.  Grease and flour 8 inch square pan.

3.  Melt butter and chocolate over very low heat.

6.  Add vanilla and nuts.

7.  Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to chocolate mixture and mix thoroughly. Pour into the greased baking pan.

8.  Bake 25 to 30 minutes.
