rec'd this from my mother-in-law in 1972. Seemed a little odd with flour and baking powder, but its a great always successful recipe.

Time 30m

Yield 20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk or 1 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 -2 dash salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups chopped walnuts or 2 cups pecans

Steps:

  • Lightly grease 9 x 11 brownie pan.
  • (originally calls for a 9 x 13 pan, but, I find this too thin afterwards).
  • Mix in a lightly buttered heavy large saucepan, the brown sugar, butter, cream, flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Cook stirring constantly until mixture reaches 235degrees F.
  • on a candy thermometer.
  • Or until a soft ball forms in cold water.
  • Remove from heat, add vanilla and nuts.
  • Beat two to five minutes or until candy begins to thicken.
  • Pour quickly into prepared buttered pan.
  • Spread evenly.
  • Cut into squares while still soft.
