Can't Be Beat Brownies

• 1 12 cups flour
• 1 12 cups sugar
• 12 cup cocoa
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shortening
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 12 cup nuts (optional)

1. Mix the flour, sugar, salt and cocoa in a bowl until they are blended well.
2. Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients as you would into a pie crust dough.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla (and nuts) and mix until dough is moist.
4. The batter will be stiff.
5. Pour into a greased pan and bake at 350 until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. I use an 8 x 8 pan because I like thick brownies.
7. I bake them between 25- 30 minutes.
8. A 9 x 13 pan would bake between 20- 25 minutes.
