Ingredients

Crumb Crust
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
3 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup butter, no substitutions
Batter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter, no substitutions
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup evaporated milk
confectioners' sugar, sifted for the topping after it bakes

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour and 3 tablespoons sugar.
Cut in 1/3 cup butter until it becomes fine crumbs.
Pat evenly into bottom of an ungreased 9 x 9 pan.
For the filling, cream sugar and butter together.
Add corn syrup and egg until just combined.
Stir in 1 cup flour with the evaporated milk alternately.
Do not mix more that just necessary to mix ingredients together (the batter is supposed to look curdled).
Pour mixture over crust.
Bake for 35 minutes or until the cake is almost firm when you gently shake it.
Cool in pan on wire rack.
Dust cake with sifted confectioners sugar before serving.
