TOPPING
In a medium size bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt.
Using your fingertips or two forks, cut in shortening or butter into the dry mixture until there are no big lumps. It’s ok if you have a few pieces that are the size of peas.
Add milk and egg, and stir until just moist.
Remove the pan from the oven, and, with a spoon, put plops of dough over hot filling, and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
Continue to bake at 400°F (205°C) for 35-40 minutes.
