Grandma Row's Butterscotch Brownies

Ingredients
½ cup butter

1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350º
Mix together the butter, sugar, and eggs.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt.
Add to the mix, along with the vanilla and nuts.
Mix together (may need to mix or stir by hand because the batter is very thick).
