¾ cup cold buttermilk 2 Tbsp brown sugar or honey 1 egg 2 cups flour 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt ¼ cup butter ½ cup blueberries (fresh, frozen, or dried) sugar cardamom

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt, in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut in chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the blueberries (if using frozen, bring them to room temperature and pat them dry). Add milk, brown sugar/honey, and egg, stirring just until moist.

Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until the dough is all together. Place on a baking sheet that is either greased, or lined with parchment. Form dough into an approximately ¾” thick, 9” circle. Cut dough into 12 wedges all the way through.

Sprinkle cardamom and sugar on top. Bake until golden, 18-20 minutes. Serve warm.

Filling:

5 ½ to 6 cups cored, diced pears 1 ½ Tbsp cornstarch 1/8 tsp salt ¼ cup maple syrup 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest 2 Tbsp minced candied ginger or ½ tsp ground ginger

Topping:

2/3 cup flour ¾ cup rolled oats ¼ cup packed brown sugar ¼ tsp salt 6 Tbsp cold butter

Heat the oven to 400°. Place the diced pears in a large bowl, sprinkle the cornstarch over them, and stir well. Add the remaining filling ingredients and toss gently, until the mixture is evenly combined.

Put the filling into deep-dish pie tin and smooth the top of the fruit. Bake for 45 minutes.

While it's baking, make the topping. Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the butter until you have large crumbs. Refrigerate the topping until you are ready to use it.

Lower the oven temperature to 375°. Remove the fruit from the oven and carefully pour the crumbs in the center of the pan, then spread them evenly. Return the crumble to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Crust:

½ cup flour ½ cup rolled oats ½ tsp salt ¼ cup cold butter, cubed 2 Tbsp cold water

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Mix flour, oats, and salt. Cut in the butter until it's crumbly. Stir in the ice water 1 Tbsp at a time, then press together into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze to make it harder.

Roll out the crust between two pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Press into a pie or tart pan. Prick bottom with a fork. Bake for 5 minutes, then let cool completely.

Filling:

¼ cup brown sugar 2 Tbsp flour 1 cup sour cream 1 Tbsp fruit juice 1/8 tsp ground cloves 3 cups of pears, cored and sliced thinly

Reduce oven to 350° F.

Combine flour, sugar, sour cream, fruit juice, and cloves. Mix well and spread most of it into the cooled crust, reserving about 1/3 cup. Lay pear slices over the cream, then spread the remaining cream on top. Bake for 30-40 minutes until crust is brown and cream is bubbling. Serve warm or cool.

Duff:

2 eggs, separated ½ cup brown sugar ¼ cup butter ¼ cup cream cheese 2 cups plums, pitted and quartered 1 cup flour ½ tsp salt

Warm the egg whites in a double boiler with a bit of the brown sugar, whisking. When they are warm, remove from heat and beat until stiff peaks form.

Beat egg yolks and a bit of the brown sugar. Cream in the rest of the sugar, cream cheese, and butter. Stir in plums. Fold in the egg whites.

Fold flour and salt into plum mixture. Pour into a well-greased 1-quart mold or bowl, and tie waxed paper loosely over the mold, or cover with foil scrunched around the edges. This is to prevent water from dripping onto the pudding when it condenses on the lid of the steamer. Place mold in steamer and steam for 1 hour or until pudding tests done.

If you don't have a steamer, you can place the mold in a large pot with water. The pot needs to be large enough that the pudding mold doesn't stick out the top. If it floats, that's fine, if not, use something underneath to stabilize it and keep it off the bottom of the pot. Place a well-fitting lid on top of the pot.

When done, remove from steamer and let cool slightly. Loosen the edges of the pudding by running a knife between the pudding and the bowl. Turn out onto the serving plate.

Sauce:

½ cup water ¼ cup honey 2 Tbsp fruit juice (or other sweet, non-dairy drink) 2 tsp arrowroot powder 2 tsp water

Mix ½ cup water and honey in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Boil steadily for 5 minutes. Add fruit juice to taste. Reduce heat. In a cup, mix the arrowroot with 2 tsp water until smooth. Stir into the hot liquid. Increase heat to medium-high. Heat gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly as the sauce thickens. Remove from heat reaches a boil.

For the topping: 1 1/3 cup flour 3 Tbsp brown sugar 1 Tbsp ground ginger ¼ cup butter

For the filling: 2 cups rhubarb, chopped into ½-inch pieces 2 cups strawberries, stems removed and cut into quarters ¼ cup honey 3 Tbsp cornstarch 1/8 tsp salt

Heat oven to 375° F.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, brown sugar and ginger. Cut in the butter until the texture is crumbly. Refrigerate until needed.

Toss rhubarb, strawberries, honey, cornstarch and salt in a 9” deep-dish pie plate.

Remove topping from refrigerator and cover fruit thickly and evenly with topping. Place pie plate on a baking sheet, and bake until crumble topping is golden brown in places and fruit is bubbling beneath, about 40-50 minutes.

A classic and old-fashioned frosting that's thick and marshmallowy.

½ cup sugar ¼ cup corn syrup 2 Tbsp water 2 egg whites 1 tsp vanilla

Mix sugar, corn syrup and water in a saucepan. Cover, heat to a rolling boil over medium heat. Uncover and keep boiling rapidly until it reaches 242 on a candy thermometer, or it forms a firm ball which holds its shape until pressed when dropped in cold water.

As mixture boils, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Pour the hot syrup very slowly in a thin stream into the egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla, beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Variations

Cherry Nut: Stir in ¼ cup candied cherries and ½ cup chopped nuts.

Chocolate Revel: Stir in ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips or 1 ounce of baking chocolate, coarsely grated.

Cocoa: sift ¼ cup cocoa over finished frosting and fold in.

Fruity: Use any fruit juice instead of water.

Honey: Use honey instead of corn syrup.

Lemon: Substitute 1 Tbsp lemon juice for the vanilla and beat in ¼ tsp lemon zest.

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.
