LENA'S BUTTERSCOTCH BROWNIES

These are a great winter treat. The ingredients almost always at hand. Adeline made them often and we all wanted to eat them warm.

1 stick butter or margarine
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. sat
2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup sweetened coconut
1cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

In a small, heavy bottomed saucepan, heat the butter and sugar until bubbly (stirring constantly). Remove from heat and turn into a mixing bowl and let cool for a few minutes.

Add to the above the eggs, one at a time, stirring after each addition until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in the vanilla.

Sift together the flour, sallt and baking powder and stir into the above. Add the coconut and nuts and stir again.

Turn the dough in to a 9"x 9" baking pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for about 2o minutes or until done in the center ( use the toothpick test). Cut into squares when cool.
