Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

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 cups of 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.
