From: Eunice Heckendorf, of Jackson, WI

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, shortening and salt; like a pie crust.

Reserve 1 cup of this mixture for the topping later.

In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and milk. Add this to the dry ingredients bowl and beat well.

In a separate clean/dry bowl, stiffly beat the egg whites; then add to the creamed mixture.

Put batter into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan.

Sprinkle top with the reserved crumbs (you might want to add a little cinnamon, and/or coconut)too.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes.

Remove from oven with oven mitts.

Serve for breakfast or a treat.
