RECIPE: Modified Coffee Cake - 375 F oven, 9" round pan

Streusel Topping:
     1/2 cup Bisquick baking mix
     1/2 cup packed brown sugar
     3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
     3 TBSP firm butter or margarine

Coffee Cake:
     2 cups Bisquick baking mix
     2/3 cup milk or water
     2 TBSP sugar
     1 egg

HEAT oven to 375 F.  Grease round pan, 9x1/2".

Prepare Streusel Topping: Mix ingredients until crumbly.  Reserve (you
should be able to take it out of your mixing bowl and put it in a smaller
bowl).

MIX remaining (coffee cake) ingredients; beat 30 sec.  Spread in pan;
sprinkle with Streusel Topping.

BAKE 18 to 22 min or until golden brown.  Serve warm.  8 servings.
[I usually have to bake it longer, possibly because my oven isn't
calibrated.  I use the toothpick test to decide when to take it out.]

HIGH ALTITUDE: Heat oven to 425 F.  Use 9" square pan.  Add 2 TBSP flour
[to the coffee cake].  Increase milk to 3/4 cup.  Bake 15 to 20 min.

[This is lifted straight off the Bisquick box, except I boosted all of
the Streusel Topping ingredients.  That's half the value of the coffee
cake, anyway...]
