        Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour
   and 3 tablespoons sugar.  Cut in 1/3 cup butter until mixture resembles
   fine crumbs and starts to cling. Pat in the bottom of a 9-inch square
   baking pan.  For the filling, beat the 1 1/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup butter
   until combined. Beat in the corn syrup and egg just until combined. Add the
   1 cup flour and evaporated milk alternately, beating just until combined
   (batter will appear slightly curdled). Pour into crust-lined pan and bake
   for about 35 minutes, or until cake is nearly firm when you shake it. Let
   cool in pan on a wire rack. Remove to a serving plate; sprinkle with sifted
   powdered sugar, if you like.
