Mom's Frosted Brownies

Ingredients:

• 1 c butter (melted)
• 1 c flour
• 2 c sugar
• 3/4 c dutch-process cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the frosting :

• 1/2 c butter
• 3 1/2 c confectioner's sugar
• 1/4 c cocoa powder
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (f) and grease a 9"x13" baking pan. Or use a 9"x9" and increase the baking time 10 minutes.

Stir together the dry ingredients. Add the butter and vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour into the pan and bake for about 30 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool.

Make the frosting: Melt the butter over medium heat, then add the remaining ingredients, whisking until smooth and thickened. Pour over still-warm brownies. Allow the frosting to set before slicing.

For easy removal and slicing, line your pan with foil (before greasing). When the brownies have cooled, lift them from the pan using the foil. This makes slicing and serving easier.  Heat your knife under hot running water to scoop out brownies easier.  Repeat when necessary.
