- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.) Grease the bottom of a 9 inch square pan.
In a large bowl, cream 1/4 cup butter and 1/2 cup sugar. In a separate small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into butter mixture. Stir in milk; mixture will be thick and lumpy. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
