Raisin Pancake Squares

Shortening
2 Cups packaged pancake mix
2 TBSP cooking oil
1/2 cup raisins or mixed dried fruit bits
1 egg
1 1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Margarine or butter
Syrup

Turn the oven to 425*. Put some shortening on a piece of paper towel or waxed paper. Spread the shortening over the bottom of a 15x10x1 inch baking pan. Crack the egg into the mixing bowl. Add the pancake mix, milk, cooking oil, and cinnamon. Stir with a wooden spoon till the dry ingredients are wet. (The batter should have small lumps, so don't stir too much.) Stir in raisins or dried fruit bits.

Pour the batter into the greased baking pan. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Put the pan in the oven. Bake about 10 minutes or until the edges are light brown and the top springs back when yo lightly touch it with a finger. Cut into 6 squares. Spread with margarine or butter. Serve with syrup.
