How To Make bishop's bread

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375-degrees. Grease a 9"x13" baking dish. Set aside.

Step 2

With mixer, combine flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until it resembles the texture of coarse meal. Set aside 3/4 cup of this mixture in a small bowl to use as the topping.
Step 3

Add baking powder, soda and cinnamon to the bowl and mix. Stir in milk, vinegar and egg until mixture is smooth.
Step 4

Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the reserved crumb topping.
Step 5

Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden. Allow to cool in pan before cutting into 3"x2" squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
