Grandma Ruby's Brownies

These are delicious! My mom would make these in a huge restaurant style cookie sheet for all our school functions/PTA meetings. The frosting is the best. Once it cools, it forms a smooth creamy layer of chocolate between the brownie and the top of the frosting. Mmm mmm! (Since I don't have a huge cookie sheet, I use two 9x13 pans).

Ingredients:
2 C sugar
2 C flour
1 stick butter
4-5 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 C buttermilk (or equal milk/vinegar)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 C vegetable oil
1 C water
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
Mix flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a bowl; set aside. Combine butter, oil, cocoa, and water in kettle. Heat on stove and mix thoroughly. Pour over dry ingredients; stir. Add buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Chocolate Frosting:
1/4 C milk
1/4 C butter
1 C sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
dash salt
1/2 C chocolate chips

Boil milk, butter, and sugar for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla, salt, and chocolate chips. Stir until melted. Spoon over cool brownies, spreading evenly.
