Brownies

Brownie Mix

From Jenny Harris

7 cups all-purpose flour

4 tsp. baking powder

4 tsp. salt

9 cups of sugar

1 (8 oz.) can Hershey's unsweetened cocoa

2 cups vegetable shortening

In a large bowl mix all dry ingredients. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until in even course crumbs. Label and store in an airtight container. Use within 3 months. Makes 17 cups - enough for about 7 batches of brownies. For fudgey brownies add 1 large box chocolate pudding mix. For chocolate chunk brownies add 1 12 oz. bag chocolate chips or chunks. For nutty brownies add 2 2 cups of walnuts or pecans. Or add all 3! Using brand name cocoa makes all the difference between delicious or bitter brownies - so splurge on the good stuff!
