Buttermilk Brownies

I've been baking a lot of my old recipes lately. Ones I used to make a lot when the kids were growing up.

 I have so many favorite recipes, but with Pinterest and all the cooking shows I watch, I forget about my oldies and am always trying new ones.

That's a shame, so I decided to dig some of them out.

Buttermilk Brownies are always a winner. They are a more like a cake brownie, with a fudge like frosting. Hard to resist, moist and delicious.

An old classic recipe...and family favorite!
