I Love brownies!! But always I was hesitant to try baking. My previous experiences scared me way too much to even think about it. But now after trying so many times.. Now getting confidence to bake.This is my first try for brownies. I have taken this recipe from here .These are quick, simple and delicious!

    * Baking powder-2 1/2 teaspoons

     * 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Method:  

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan. In a heavy saucepan combine the 1/3 cup of flour and water. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thick. Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside to cool.

   2. In a small saucepan, melt butter. When butter has melted, add the cocoa and mix until smooth; set aside to cool. Beat the sugar and vanilla into the cooled flour mixture. Stir in the cocoa mixture until well blended. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, stir into the batter until just blended. Fold in walnuts if desired. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
