first , mix cocoa and sugar together and pour the melted butter inches mix well
add the eggs and vanilla , again mix thoroughly

depending on how "high" your batter was , it can take anywhere from 20 min to 45

when i make a double batch , i use the same size pan and cook lower and slower so i get higher , thicker brownies
wait until they cool completely before icing , or cutting

tasty s    deluxe cinnamon toast
please
adjust accordingly to your preference
in a small bowl combine the english mixed spice , vanilla powder and sugar of choice
store in a container with a tight fitting lid
to make the deluxe cinnamon toast: spread butter on a slice of bread
it will melt into the bread as it toasts
sprinkle about a scant one half teaspoon of the spice mixture on the bread
toast until browned and sizzling but being careful not to burn the bread !
ps i use a toaster which browns bread horizontally which means the butter doesn't drip down into the heating element
it is not recommended to use a toaster that toasts bread vertically to avoid the butter dripping into the mechanism-
an oven will work
