How to Make Amish Butterscotch Brownies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a square 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter. Stir in 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar until completely melted and smooth.
3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Once cooled, whisk in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
4. Gradually add 1 cup all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. (Overbaking will result in dry brownies).
7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
8. Dust with powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar) before serving, if desired.
