    Amish Nut Brownies

    Amish Nut Brownies

    By Kevin Williams

    nutbrownieAmish Nut Brownies: Basic brownies are a mainstay of the Amish cook's snack repertoire.  If you have a house full of children and you want to bake a snack for them, what is easier than mixing up some batter, pouring it into a pan and sticking it in the oven? This is a really fluffy nut brownie that I picked up at an Amish bakery recently and the cook was nice enough to give me the recipe.

    Of course, if you are allergic to nuts or someone you know is, then just omit the nuts and it'll still be a good, basic brownie.

      Hmm, you might review those directions. They don't match with list of ingredients. I can figure it out, but better not to confuse people!

      Is the shortening Crisco or can butter be used?
