Butterscotch Brownies


                  My mother started making these "non-chocolate" brownies when I was a little girl.  Since she in turn has lived with our family since our oldest daughter was one, our girls have renamed them "Grandma's Tannies." By any name, they're fabulous, and oh so soft.

                                               1/3 cup vegetable oil
                                               2 cups brown sugar
                                               2 eggs
                                               1 ½ cups flour
                                               2 tsp baking powder
                                               1 tsp salt
                                               1 tsp vanilla
                                               (optional:  1 cup butterscotch bits)


                   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Baking time 40 minutes.

                   In a large bowl, combine oil and brown sugar, using an electric mixer and blending well. Add eggs. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt, then add vanilla.

                   Spread batter into a greased 9"x9" pan.  If desired, sprinkle 1 cup butterscotch bits over top.  Bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees.  After cooling one minute, swirl the bits with a knife to give a marbleized effect.

                   Cover pan with foil keep to brownies soft, or cut them in squares and store them in a covered container.
