Betty Feezor Brownies
By Cyndi Allison
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
½ cup cocoa
2 cups plain flour
1 cup pecans or walnuts (we used pecans, because we had a pecan tree)
Mix together butter sugar, vanilla, eggs. Add cocoa and flour. Fold in nuts.
Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 18-20 minutes.
Makes two 8x8 square cake pans.
Betty Feezor had a cooking show out of Charlotte. She was on TV in the afternoons and was very popular in this area. She made these brownies when I was in middle school. I got paper and a pencil and wrote the recipe down. My brothers and I made these brownies for years, and they were family favorites. You can find Betty Feezor cookbooks in the reference room at Rowan Public Library headquarters, Salisbury, NC and sometimes you can find copies at ReStore Rowan.
I like these, because they are very rich and chocolatey. The edges are especially good.
