In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, milk and vanilla. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and butter to make a crumb mixture. Save 1/2 cup of the crumbs for the topping.
Stir the egg and milk mixture into the remaining crumb mixture. Butter or lightly coat with cooking spray, a 9" pie plate or 8" round or square baking pan. Pour batter into the pan and sprinkle the top with remaining 1/2 cup of crumbs.

Notes: This recipe from my grandma, Katie Adams Sweigart (1884-1973), is so simple and delicious, and can be ready in 45 minutes for your family or guests. Especially good at breakfast.
I rewrote the original directions to make them clear, which were: "Beat 2 eggs, and add 3/4 cup milk. Stir into above flour mix. Pour into pan, top with 1/2 cup of crumbs. Bake 350° for 25 or 30 minutes until done." The original did not have vanilla and cinnamon, those were my additions.
