Bishop's Bread

1/2 cup shortening
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour (unbleached)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup sour milk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Mix the flour, sugar, salt and shortening in a large bowl. (Set
aside 3/4 cup of this mixture to use for the topping.) To the bowl,
add the beaten egg, baking powder, cinnamon, sour milk and baking
soda.  Beat with a wooden spoon until the batter is smooth.  Pour
into two 7 inch square greased cake pans.  Take the 3/4 cup of
crumbs you set aside and place on top of the mixture.  You may add
some chopped walnuts and more cinnamon on top if you wish.  Bake
in a 375 F degree oven for 25-30 minutes. This makes a thin loaf
only about 1 inch thick, so do not test until near the end of baking
time.
