- 1 cup Water
- 2 Eggs
- 2 cups White Sugar
- 2 tsp Salt
- 2 cups Flour
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream or plain greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Baking Soda dissolved in 1tsp warm water
Icing
- 4 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 5 Tbsp Milk
- 1/2 cup Margarine
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 4 cups Icing Sugar sifted
Instructions
For the Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Add margarine, cocoa and water together in a saucepan and heat until the margarine is melted and the cocoa is dissolved
- Let the cocoa mixture cool slightly then add the sugar and eggs, mix well
- Add the baking soda, salt and flour, mixing until smooth, then add the sour cream and combine
- Grease an 11" x 16" x 1" cookie sheet and pour the batter onto the sheet
- Bake at 350° for approximately 20 minutes, or until center of pan is set
- Let cool slightly before icing
For the Icing
- Melt the margarine in a pan, add milk and cocoa powder stir until dissolved
- Remove from heat and add the vanilla and icing sugar, mix until well combined
Notes
Mix icing after the brownies com out of the oven. You want to ice while they are warm, but not hot out of the oven.
These freeze great (so you don't eat the whole pan in one sitting) and are almost better directly from the freezer!
