Cream together shortening and milk for about 3 minutes, (it will look like small curd cottage cheese.) Add in vanilla.

In a separate bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add flour, one third at a time to the milk mixture, blending well after each addition.

Lastly, add in egg whites, beating just until all combined.

Pour batter into a greased and floured (do not use a spray) 25cm cast iron skillet.

Bake in a preheated 175 degree oven for 40-45 minutes, using a toothpick inserted in the center to test for doneness.

Let cool on wire rack for at least 45 minutes before serving, lightly dust with powdered sugar if desired.

You can also bake this in 10 inch casserole dish or a 10 inch baking pan.
