1/2 cup shortening ( I use butter flavor crisco cubes)
1 TB milk
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 egg, beaten
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Pre heat oven to 350. Grease a 8 by 8 inch pan. (I only use the spray that also has a touch of flour). Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Over medium heat, combine the shortening, and milk in a large pot. Heat until shortening is all melted. Remove from heat, add brown sugar and the egg. Stir until well combined. Stir flour mixture into the egg mixture until combined. Add vanilla and nuts, stir. Spread evenly into the prepared pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
