butter
2 Tbsp honey
3 or 4 ripe pears (whatever will fit in the pan)
1 cup plums, pitted and chopped
¼ cup butter
2 Tbsp molasses
2 eggs, separated
½ cup flour
½ tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 8” round cake tin and line the bottom with paper, then spread a thin layer of butter on the paper.
Drizzle the honey in the bottom of the pan. Cut the pears in half and remove the cores. Arrange the pear halves with the cut side down, in a circle in the pan, leaving an open circle in the middle. Put the plums over the pears, concentrating them in the space in the middle and between the pears.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and molasses. Beat in the egg yolks on high speed until creamy.
Stir in the flour, ginger, and salt. Beat the batter on medium speed for about a minute.
Warm the egg whites in a double boiler until about body temperature. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until they form soft peaks. Fold the egg whites into the rest.
Pour the batter over the top of the fruit, spreading it out to cover the fruit.
Bake for 50-60 minutes. It will look juicy and bubbly, but the cake part will be firm to the touch.
Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a serving plate and remove the paper.

I have no idea if they are actually Canadian; that's just what they're called.
1 cup dark molasses
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vinegar
2 1/3 cups flour
2 Tbsp fresh grated ginger root
2 tsp baking soda
1 egg
½ tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, stir together the molasses, brown sugar, vinegar, and egg.
In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, ginger and salt, then add to molasses mixture. Mix until well blended.
The dough is very sticky, so keep your hands wet with water to roll the dough into little balls.
Place balls on cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. They spread a lot while baking. Bake until edges are golden, about 8-11 minutes. They should be kind of gooey still but noticeably cooked. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes before removing, they use this time to set/finish cooking.

2 tsp yeast
2 tsp sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses, or maple syrup
1 cup warm water
1 cup warm milk or nut milk
4 Tbsp butter
1 ½ cups rolled oats
¾ cup chopped nuts (optional)
3 tsp salt
3 cups flour
In a large bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and warm water.
When the yeast becomes foamy, stir in the warm milk and butter. Stir in the oats, then the nuts if using, then the salt. Stir in the flour one cup at a time.
Knead the dough, using more flour as necessary, until the dough is relatively smooth, not sticky, and resistant. Coat the dough with oil, place in a large oiled bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes.
Knead the dough gently and form into a smooth loaf. Place in a bread pan. Coat the top of the dough with oil and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise for 30-40 minutes. Preheat oven to 350° F. Bake for 1 hour.
