 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4       c            Sugar
  2       c            Flour
  1 1/3   c            Unsweetened cocoa powder
  2       ts           Baking powder
  2       ts           Salt
  1       c            Vegetable shortening

 Put all ingredients except the shortening in a large
 bowl; use a spoon to mix until uniform. Cut in
 shortening using either a pastry blender or your
 fingertips until mixture looks like chocolate
 cornmeal. Seal tightly in a plastic bag or jar, label
 and store at room temperature.

 Makes 8 cups of mix; enough for 4 pans of brownies

 TO USE: Put 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla or orange
 extract in a mixing bowl; beat slightly. Stir in 4
 tablespoons melted butter or margarine which has been
 cooled. Lightly spoon 2 cupsof the mix into the mixing
 bowl; do not pack the mix when measuring. Beat well
 with a spoon to make a somewhat smooth batter; stir in
 1/2 cup chopped nuts, if desired. Spread into a
 greased and floured 8 x 8 x 2 inch pan. Bake in a
 preheated 350 degree F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes or
 until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
 Cool in pan then cut into squares.
