2 c. flour, measured after sifting
3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
Milk
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. nuts, chopped

Mix dry ingredients. Break eggs into a measuring cup, beat slightly, fill cup to 1 cup mark with milk. Cut shortening into dry ingredients and reserve 3 tablespoons of mixture.

Combine liquid and dry ingredients and stir only until dry flour lumps are moistened. Turn into a 9x13x2 inch pan and sprinkle reserved shortening mixture over the batter. Sprinkle with nuts and if desired, additional cinnamon.

Bake in a preheated moderate 375 degree oven about 25 minutes. If not brown enough, place under broiler for 5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Fruit juice may replace the milk.
