In case you wanted something yummy and warm on Christmas morning…here is a real crowd pleaser. Yes, it involves butter….but doesn’t anything worthwhile involve butter. It is a duplicate of the Entenman’s coffee cake. Please note…you need to make this in a 13 by 9. I failed to follow that on my first try…yes…it matters a lot…take it from me :)
Mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt. Reserve 2 cups of this dry mix for the topping.
Add butter, eggs and milk to the flour mixture. Combine and pour in 13 by 9 pan that has been greased.
Take the 2 cups of reserved flour mixture and add to the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix together with your pastry cutter until blended and lumps begin to form when you squeeze the mixture making small pea-sized crumbs.
Put dry crumb coating over batter. Bake 30 minutes and when cooled dust all over with powdered sugar:)
