Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2/3 cup milk
  •  
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 5 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/4 cup butter and 1/3 cup of sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla until well blended. Combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, salt and baking powder; stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Spread evenly in a 9x9 inch baking pan.

  4. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
