Classic items, antiques, classics are special. They explain us a glimpse of our history, of times past; bring back memories or wishful fantasies. Classic recipes are no different.
This one is from the 1930s, during the Great Depression, so it uses vanilla flavoring and shortening, and doesn't suggest double chocolate. It's careful, so if today's economy has us pinching pennies, it's perfect, but if we are seeing better times, it's easy to add a second square of chocolate, use real vanilla or substitute the shortening with real butter.
Melt chocolate in excess of hot water. Cream limitation and sugar. Put it in egg, chocolate, and flavoring. Beat carefully. Sift flour, determine, and sift with salt and baking powder. Add alternately with milk to first combination. Fill up well-oiled muffin tins 2/3 full. Cook in the oven (375° F.) about 35 minutes.
