Martha's Brownies

10 oz soft baking margarine

13 oz caster sugar

4 eggs

1 tsp baking powder

3 oz cocoa powder

4 oz plain flour

4 oz of plain chocolate drops

Line a small roasting tin with foil and grease well

Put all ingredients apart from the drops into a bowl and mix well. Mix the chocolate drops last by hand.

Put the oven to 200 degrees Celsius ('cause I'm British) or the bottom of the top right aga (roasting oven) oven for 25 mins, making sure the top isn't too dark. If it goes dark then put a set of runners on top of it for the last 5 minutes to stop the bronzing.

Then put the tray into 100 degrees or the middle of the top left aga (simmering oven) for 20 minutes until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the mixture.

Cut into squares and serve.

Store in a cool closed dry place.
