Mom would serve this as a dinner bread, but its mild sweetness makes it great for breakfast. And...it freezes!
2 c sifted all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
½ c shortening
½ c granulated sugar
2 eggs, well-beaten
1 c milk
Heat oven to 400°. Sift first 3 ingredients. Work shortening with spoon until creamy; add sugar gradually, continuing to work until light. Mix eggs, milk. Add flour alternately with egg mixture to sugar mixture. Turn into 2 greased 8 x 8 x 2 inch pans (or round cake pans); bake in hot oven 20-25 minutes.
