Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in 3/4 cup cold butter with a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form. Set aside 1 cup of crumbs for topping.
Step 3
To the remaining crumbs, stir in 2 teaspoons baking powder. In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour into the flour mixture and stir just until combined—batter will be thick.
Step 4
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the reserved crumb topping over the top, pressing lightly.
Step 5
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden, about 25-30 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 6
Serve warm or at room temperature.
