This is a slightly modified version of the 1896 brownie recipe in Fannie Farmers cookbook - sadly there is no chocolate…<br /><br />1/3 cup (75 mL) butter at room temp<br />1/3 cup (75 mL) powdered icing sugar<br />1/3 cup (75 mL) cooking or fancy molasses<br />1 egg<br />7/8 cup (240 mL) bread flour<br />1 cup (250 mL) chopped pecans<br /><br />Pre heat oven to 350ºF (180ºC)<br />Mix ingredients in order, then bake 15-20 minutes in small shallow tart tins. Makes about 4. Let cool on rack before serving.<br />You can easily sub darker molasses or Maple syrup for the fancy molasses if you wish.
