Instructions
To make the topping:
- Combine the brown sugar, pecans, and flour in a small bowl.
- Add the butter and mix well. Set aside.
To make the bread:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9"x 5" loaf pan.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix well.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture in three portions, alternating with two portions of milk. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in the pears.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the topping over the batter, pressing it down gently into the batter.
- Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until the bread has browned and a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then remove the bread from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
