Step 1: Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9" cake pan or pie tin.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the starches through the granulated sugar, whisking lightly.
Step 3: With a pastry cutter, mix in the shortening until the dough becomes like small peas.
Step 4: In a small bowl, combine the milk and egg and add to the large bowl, mixing lightly. It will be sticky, like cake batter, not like regular dough.
Step 5: Pour into cake pan, smooth top, and bake for 25-30 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean; let cool.
Step 6: Top with your favorite fruit, either sliced or crushed, and whipped cream, if desired.
