Wake Up to a Delicious Morning

Starting your day off right can be as simple as making a batch of scrumptious waffles, accompanied by a sweet and tangy pear sauce. This mouthwatering combination is sure to become a morning staple in your household.

Pear Sauce: A Delicious Twist

If you’re short on time, you can substitute the pear sauce with applesauce, sautéed apples or pears, maple syrup, or even crunchy pecans. However, the homemade pear sauce is surprisingly easy to make and adds an extra layer of flavor to your waffles.

Yield and Ingredients

This recipe yields 6 large waffles, perfect for a weekend brunch or a busy weekday morning. Here’s what you’ll need:

For the Pear Sauce:

• 4 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1/4 cup wildflower or medium-colored honey
• Juice of 1/2 lemon

For the Waffles:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground dried ginger
• 1 cup milk
• 1/3 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup canola oil or corn oil
• 1 egg

Preparing the Pear Sauce

To make the pear sauce, combine the diced pears, honey, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the fruit is tender. Add the lemon juice and mash the mixture with a potato masher. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and set aside.

Whipping Up the Waffles

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, molasses, oil, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Cook the waffle batter in a waffle iron for about 90 seconds, or until golden brown. Serve the waffles hot with a generous helping of pear sauce.
