Brownie Recipe Shirley Newton Style Preheat oven to 350 degrees In microwave or small pan slowly melt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine – let cool Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
2 cups
sugar
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour – I always use White Lily ¾ cup cocoa ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt Beat 4 eggs and add 2 teaspoons vanilla Add melted butter, eggs and vanilla into dry ingredients. Stir gently with spatula or wooden spoon. Stir in: 1 ½ cups chocolate chips and 1 cup pecan pieces Pour into greased 9 x 13 pan and bake for 35 minutes To make small even cuts I line the pan with foil leaving plenty folded on the long sides. After brownies are cooled the whole piece can be lifted out of the pan using those tinfoil handles. With a long knife make one cut across the short side and then cut that long piece into the size pieces you like with a small knife. This method allows for uniform pieces neatly cut For an even more decadant treat make them with Ghiradelli cocoa and chocolate morsals. Hard to find but worth the expense and effort. Thursday’s were made with Hersheys unsweetened cocoa. Enjoy! Shirley Bread Pudding My husband's mother (Hilda Ramsey) ran the restaurant at the Houston Hotel in which they were the major shareholders. He remembers Rainey's Bread Pudding fondly. (Rainey was the cook at the hotel.) Of course, no one thought to write down her recipe. I think this might be close, however. My friend, Jane Prater, made bread pudding out of stale donuts and said that was hard to beat. She was one of the best cooks I know, so I'm sure that is also delicious! Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce • 4 cups (8 slices) cubed white bread • 1/2 cup raisins • 2 cups milk • 1/4 cup butter • 1/2 cup sugar • 2 eggs, slightly beaten • 1 tablespoon vanilla • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg Sauce Ingredients: • 1/2 cup butter • 1/2 cup sugar • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream • 1 tablespoon vanilla Directions for Pudding: Heat oven to 350°F.

Pour milk mixture over bread; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in all remaining pudding ingredients. Pour into greased 1 1/2-quart casserole. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until set in center. Directions for Sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients except vanilla in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and comes to a full boil (5 to 8 minutes).
