Recipe - Breads In Jars Brownies

SUPPLIES NEEDED
3 Jars Ball (#1440081400);
(12 oz)
8 New lids don't use old
ones
8 Rings okay to use old ones

BATTER
1 cup Unbleached flour
1 cup Granulated sugar
One half teaspoon Baking soda
One fourth teaspoon Cinnamon
1/3 cup Margarine; at room
temperature
One fourth cup Water
3 tablespoon Cocoa powder; sifted
One fourth cup Buttermilk*; at room
temperature
1 Egg white; whipped
One half teaspoon Vanilla

Preheat oven at 325. Place a baking sheet onto middle rack and remove top
rack from oven. Before starting batter, wash jars, lids, and rings in hot
soapy water and let drain, dry, and cool to room temperature. Generously
prepare inside of jars with margarine To prepare batter, combine flour,
sugar, baking soda, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl,
combine margarine, water, cocoa powder, buttermilk, egg white, and vanilla.
Divide batter among 3 jars (should be slightly less than half full).
Carefully wipe rims clean, then place jars on baking sheet (or they'll tip
over) in the center of oven. Bake 40 minutes. Keep lids in hot water until
they're used. When cakes are done, remove jars which are HOT from oven one
at a time. If rims need cleaning, use moistened paper towel. Carefully put
lids and rings in place, then screw tops on tightly shut. Place jars on a
wire rack; they will seal as they cool.

Once jars are cool, decorate with round pieces of cloth and then glue on
flowers, ribbons, etc. on lid, ring and side of jar. Unscrew the ring (the
lid should be sealed by now) and place a few cotton balls on top of the lid
(makes it poofy on top), then a piece of cloth (about 3" larger than the
lid) on top and screw the ring back on. Decorate as desired (example
pinking shears).
