James Fowler

Pride is the worst viper in the heart. It is the first sin that ever entered into the universe. It lies lowest of all in the foundation of the whole building of sin. Of all lusts, it is the most secret, deceitful, and unsearchable in its ways of working. It is ready to mix with everything. Nothing is so hateful to God, contrary to the spirit of the Gospel, or of so dangerous consequence. There is no one sin that does so much to let the devil into the hearts of the saints and expose them to his delusions.

INSTRUCTIONS

FROSTING
* dissolved in 2 Tablespoons hot water
These chewy squares ooze brown sugary butterscotch. They becrumb the lips
and besmear the chin, like home-baked goodies should.
Preheat oven to 350&deg;.
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add sugar and beat well to mix. Cool the
mixture slightly, then beat in the eggs and vanilla.
Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Stir it into the wet
ingredients, then add the nuts. Mix well. Spread brownies in a greased 11 x
7 x 2-inch pan and bake at 350&deg; for 30 to 35 minutes or until a light gold.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out. This is easiest if you
up-end the pan over waxed paper, then turn the cake right side up. Let it
finish cooling on a rack.
To make the frosting, cream 1/2 cup butter with confectioners sugar. Beat
it until light, then beat in the coffee mixture. Spread over the brownies.
When frosting has set, cut in squares.
Yield: 3 dozen 2-inch or 6 dozen 1-inch squares. Polly Clingerman, author
