Traditional Easy Brownies

This is another favourite recipe because it uses as few ingredients as possible, but is a bit more pricey because it contains Vanilla Extract and Butter... two things that we frequently do not stock in the house.

Just like the Coconut Glazed Brownies, I don't use a mixer for these, I hand fold all the ingredients with a silicone spatula. 

Makes 2 trays of Brownies.

Vegetarian? Eggs are used.
