1/2 c. boiling water

1/3 c. vegetable oil
1 t. vanilla
2 c. sugar
Add, stir until smooth.
2 eggs
Add, stir until smooth.
1 1/3 c. flour
1/4 t. salt (I like a bit more)
Add, stir together quickly.
9 x 13 or 2 - 8" square pans, greased (Pam).
350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or 30 minutes.
A soft, tender brownie that keeps well. It looks like a lot of work, but each step is very quick. My daughter loves watching the phase changes that occur through this recipe. It's fun to add dry sugar and have the brownies suddenly become wet.
