Description: The recipe is as follows: Beat one-third a cup of butter a cream, and gradually beat in one-third a cup sugar. Add one-third a cup of dark-colored molasses, one egg, beaten without separating the white and yolk, one cup of flour, and one cup of pecan nuts broken into pieces. The mixture is rather stiff, but spreads in baking. Bake in "brownie" tins. These tins come in a sheet or singly in assorted shapes. Press half a nut-meat into the top of each cake before baking.
