How to Make Betty Crocker's Butterscotch Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8x2-inch square baking pan.
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of shortening over low heat. Remove from heat.
- Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar to the melted shortening and blend thoroughly until smooth.
- Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into 18 bars (approximately 2 1/2 x 1 inch).
