Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, and then turn the pan and bake for another 20 minutes.

Brownies

Ingredient Quantity
Margarine/Butter 2 Sticks
Sugar 2 Cups
Cocoa Powder 3/4 Cup
Oil 1/4 Cup
Eggs 4
Vanilla 2 Teaspoons
Flour 1 1/2 Cups

Margarine tends to make drier brownies while butter produces more moist brownies.  The best ratio is 1/2 stick margarine and 1 1/2 sticks butter.

Melt butter, then sugar, in a sauce pan (pot) big enough to hold all the ingredients on low heat.  If you use chocolate baking squares instead of cocoa powder, melt them with the butter before you put in the sugar.  Mix in the rest of the ingredients into the sauce pan with a wood spoon.

Pour into a 13×9 glass pan and bake 25-30 minutes at 350 °F.
