Making Breakfast

My cooking classes were very pleased to make breafast food this week.  Winger pleaded to be at the Monkey Bread-making group (and he is 13 so he's not all grown up inside).  Some students still need practice breaking an egg, but no big messes this week.
Overnight Coffee Cake
(from my own junior high class in home economics)
2/3 c. shortening or butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
2 eggs
2 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
1 t. soda
1 t. baking powder
1 t. cinnamon
1 c. buttermilk
1. Cream together butter and sugars. Beat in eggs.
2. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk. Mix.
3. Pour batter into greased 9 x 13” pan.
4. Mix topping in separate bowl, then sprinkle over batter:
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. nuts
1/2 t. cinnamon
1 t. nutmeg
2 t. lemon or orange rind, grated
5. Refrigerate overnight, if desired 6. Bake at 350’ F for 30-40 minutes.
