Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 7 tablespoons butter, divided

  • 3 ripe Bartlett pears, cored and thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten

  • ¾ cup molasses

  • ½ cup buttermilk

  • ¼ cup milk

  • ¾ cup vanilla yogurt

Directions

  1. Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over low heat; remove from burner and set aside.

  2. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a very large skillet over medium heat; add pears and cook, turning occasionally, until mostly tender, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle sugar over pears and cook until browned and tender, about 3 minutes. Cover skillet and keep warm over low heat.

  3. Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Mix melted butter, eggs, molasses, buttermilk, and milk in a separate bowl. Pour butter mixture into the well of the flour mixture and stir just until batter is moistened and slightly lumpy.

  4. Preheat and grease a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

  5. Pour batter into preheated waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions; repeat with remaining batter. Serve each waffle with pears and 1 tablespoon vanilla yogurt.

Cook's Note:

Bosc pears can also be used in place of the Bartlett, if desired.
