2. 2
   Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to egg and butter mixture and beat only until everything is well mixed. Do not over-mix.
3. 3
   Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour batter into a greased 9x13 cake pan and put in the oven. Brownies should need about 40 minutes cooking time, but set the timer for 30 minutes and check them by sticking a toothpick into center of pan. They probably won't be done yet, but continue checking every 3 minutes or so until toothpick comes out clean. The absolute key to this recipe is get the brownies just done and not a bit more.
