1 can (1 lb. 4 1/2 oz.) sliced pineapple, drained
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. butter
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. finely ground cornmeal
4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 c. milk
1/4 c. soft shortening

Arrange pineapple slices in greased 9 inch square pan, cutting slices in half if necessary to fit. Blend brown sugar and butter and sprinkle on pineapple. Mix flour and next 4 ingredients. Add egg, milk, and shortening and mix well. Pour over pineapple mixture in pan and bake in preheated hot oven (425 degrees) for about 25 minutes. Let stand a few minutes, then turn out of pan and cut in squares. NOTE: This bread goes real well with baked beans and spare ribs.
