Uncle Drew's Skillet Brownies

A cast iron skillet brownie recipe my Uncle Drew brought with him when he visited for our family reunion. I think we made about five batches of these rich, chocolaty goodies over the course of his stay! Top the brownie batter with shredded coconut or nuts if desired.

Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup butter
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• ¾ cup cocoa powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch oven-proof skillet.

Step 2

Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in the microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Add sugar and cocoa powder to butter and stir. Heat butter-cocoa mixture in the microwave until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Mix vanilla extract into cocoa mixture. Stir in eggs, then add flour and stir until batter is well-mixed. Pour batter into the prepared skillet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of brownie comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
