List of Ingredients




1 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk or *sour milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted pecans

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 recipe *Sour Cream Frosting or **sifted powdered sugar

Recipe



Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan; set aside. In a medium saucepan melt butter or margarine over low heat. Cool slightly. Stir granulated sugar and brown sugar into melted butter. Add eggs, one at a time, beating by hand just till combined. Stir in buttermilk or sour milk and vanilla.

Stir together flour and baking soda. Add flour mixture to egg mixture; stir just till combined. Divide batter into 2 equal portions (about 1 3/4 cups each.) Stir pecans into one portion and spread this batter in prepared pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Stir the melted chocolate and cinnamon into the remaining batter; blend well. Spread the chocolate batter over partially baked brownies. Continue baking about 20 minutes or till toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool. Frost with Sour Cream Frosting or sift with powdered sugar; garnish with chocolate curles. Makes 36 bars.

Sour Cream Frosting 1/3 cup dairy sour cream, 1/4 cup butter or margarine-softened, 1 tsp vanilla, 3 cups sifted powdered sugar.

In a medium mixing bowl beat together the sour cream, butter or margarine, and vanilla with an electric mixer on low speed till smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating on low speed till smooth and spreadable. Makes 1 1/2 cups.

*To make sour milk, place 1/2 tsp lemon juice in a glass measuring cup; add enough milk to make 1/4 cup liquid total.

**If you opt to simply sift powdered sugar over the brownies, lightly place a wire cooling rack over the brownies before topping with sugar; this adds an interesting design to the top of the brownies.
