This is the coffee cake that Gram used to bake.
It is a good basic recipe. Consider playing around with the topping to add interest.
Yield: 1 9 " square pan (8" would also work)
Description: yummy; moist and dense, light topping
Suggestions: don�t over bake.
First baked: ...don't really know...sometime when I was a child.
Ingredients
1 c. granulated sugar |
1/4 c. butter |
1 1/2 c. all purpose flour |
1 egg, well beaten |
2 tsp. baking powder |
1/2 c. milk |
1/2 tsp. table salt |
cinnamon sugar mixture for topping |
Directions:
Mix dry ingredients.
Cut in butter with a pastry cutter (or you can use two table knives and cross cut).
Add egg and milk. Mix with a kitchen fork. (I like my three pronged Grandma's fork with the wooden handle for this.)
Pat into a buttered pan.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture liberally over the top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes.
