Brownies...Kalyn's Recipe

MMM! I LOVE THESE BROWNIES!!! My good friend Kalyn brought these over one night and it was love at first bite! They are a little more cake like and less like a typical chewy brownie. The rest of my family prefer box brownies & that's ok... I think I could eat this entire thing all by myself. Yes, they are that good! Since I don't want to be miserable I only make these when we have someone over or I take some to a neighbor.

*** This time they turned out a little flat. So, for this recipe I moved the baking soda in with the other dry ingredients. The original recipe had it going in with the eggs, milk & vanilla. Hopefully that makes it better next time. I may also add a touch more flour...maybe it is the humidity here that made them so flat. We'll see. ***
