German Streusel

1½ C Flour           

½ tsp Salt             

3 tsp Baking Powder            

¾ C Sugar            

¼ C Margarine            

1 Egg            

½ C Milk            

1 tsp Vanilla           

 

Filling:

½ C Brown Sugar

2 Tbsp Flour

2 tsp Cinnamon

2 Tbsp Margarine, Melted

½ C Nuts, Chopped (Optional)

Combine all ingredients for filling. Mix well and set aside. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together. Cut in margarine until mixture is like cornmeal. (A pastry blender works well for this.) Beat egg lightly and combine with milk and vanilla. Add to dry mixture. Do not use electric mixer. Pour half of mixture into greased 8 by 8 inch pan and top with half of filling. Repeat with remainder. Bake in 375° oven for 25 minutes. Or you can make 12 regular sized muffins (bake for 20 minutes) or 24 mini muffins (bake for 17 minutes).
