This recipe 'doubles' very well, and in all truth, an 8 x 8 pan is simply not enough for more than 2 people! I use a 15" x 10" x 2" glass pyrex for a double batch. I find I have to increase cooking time by about 10 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick (comes out clean when done).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
BATTER:
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
TOPPING:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup sugar
greased 8x8 pan
In a med. bowl, mix dry ingredients of topping with a spoon, add melted butter and stir to a crumbly consistency. For batter, mix flour, baking powder and salt in a med. bowl and set aside. In a mixer bowl, cream shortening, sugar and egg. Add the milk and dry ingredients to the shortening mixture, and mix on med. speed until smooth. Place 1/2 of batter in bottom of greased pan and gently spread to cover. Evenly sprinkle 1/2 of the topping onto the batter in the pan. Follow with remaining batter, and then remaining topping.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until top is nicely browned. Remove from oven, cool on rack until warm. Enjoy!
