Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup margarine (softened)
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Begin by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Lightly grease or spray an 8×8-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, using either a wooden spoon or an electric mixer, beat together the softened butter, margarine, and light brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully incorporated.
-
Combine Mixtures: Gradually stir in the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix until everything is well blended and the batter is smooth.
-
Spread and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared 8×8-inch pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The brownies are done when the surface springs back gently when pressed with your fingertip.
-
Cool and Cut: Allow the brownies to cool slightly in the pan. Once they are cool enough to handle, cut them into bars while still warm for the best texture and flavor.
Enjoy these easy-to-make brownies with your family and friends, and savor the classic taste that has stood the test of time! ๐ซโจ
