Cast Iron Skillet Brownies

Baking brownies in a cast iron skillet? Yup. Cast iron goes nicely in the oven too!

1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1-2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. flour
3/4 c. cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8" diameter skillet and set aside. Melt butter in a saucepan on the stove top or in the microwave in a glass bowl. Pour melted butter into a mixing bowl. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla to the bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Pour dry ingredients into wet mixture and combine well as to have no lumps. Spread into the greased cast iron skillet. Bake 25 minutes; brownies should be soft when removed from the oven. Do not over-bake. I used a 10" skillet and should have reduced the time as they were slightly over-done in the picture. Enjoy!
