Origin: Clarksville, Tennessee
Source: Martha McCulloch-Williams, 1913
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder
- sugar
- powdered cinnamon
Instructions
- Beat together the egg, sugar, and butter (the size of a large egg) until light. Add the milk and flour mixture alternately—the flour should be combined with the baking powder and sifted together. Pour the batter into a pan. Sprinkle the top thickly with sugar and powdered cinnamon. Bake rather quickly, taking care not to scorch.
