1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed |
1 egg |
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract |
1 tsp. baking soda |

2 cups flour, sifted |
1 1/2 cups pears, peeled and diced into 1/4-1/2 inch cubes |
topping |
1/4 cup cinnamon sugar |
2 tb. crystallized ginger, finely chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9x13 glass pan and set aside.
2. Stir the baking soda into the buttermilk and set aside.
3. Cream the shortening, salt, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and VANILLA; mix well.
4. Alternately add the buttermilk mixture and flour to the mixing bowl, beating well after each addition.
