Notes
I made my buttermilk by putting almost 1/4 cup lemon juice into a 1 cup measuring cup and then adding 2% milk to the 1 cup line. You can use margarine in this recipe instead of the butter, but the brownies will taste better if you use butter. I do not use all of the frosting, it makes a little bit too much.
