Preparing and Baking the Brownies

4. Put the flour, baking soda, and salt in a another basin and mix them together. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ones.
5. Add the chopped pecans and mix them in. Then pour the batter onto the pan you have set up.
6. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Take it out of the oven and let it cool.

Making the Icing

1. To brown the butter, heat it in a big skillet over medium heat until it gets light brown and smells like nuts.
2. Put the melted butter in a bowl and slowly add the powdered sugar, stirring after each addition to mix it all together.
3. After all the powdered sugar is mixed in, add the milk and vanilla. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.
4. Spread the icing evenly over the brownies that have set, and then cut them into bars.
