Introduction

This is the coffee cake I made every sunday growing up as a kid--REALLY delicious, but also not the healthiest. I will be coming out with a leaner version soon, but wanted to post this for 'posterity.'

Ingredients

    1 c. Sugar
    2 c. Flour
    1 c. Milk
    1/2 c. Shortening
    1 Tbsp. Cinnamon
    1 egg
    2 tsp baking powder
    Pinch of Salt


Directions

In mixing bowl, combine shortening, cinnamon, sugar and 1 c. of flour. This will wind up being crumbly chunks--careful not to overmix. Set aside 1 cup of mixture.

To remaining crumble, combine rest of ingredients and mix until smooth. Pour batter into a GREASED (i use crisco) 8"x8" pan. Sprinkle crumble mixture on top.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until done (test w/ fork)

*at altitude this recipe takes only 30 minutes, at sea level this usually takes me 45 minutes to get thoroughly done inside.
