Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, butter, and salt until crumbly and evenly mixed.
Set aside 3/4 cup of the crumb mixture for the streusel topping and stir 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into it.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and buttermilk together. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
