Equipment

  • 1 waffle maker or iron
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 small sauce pan
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 utility knife

Ingredients
  

For the Compote

  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 2 medium pears sliced, then diced
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot or cornstarch

For the Batter

  • 192 g all purpose flour 1 ½ cups
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • ¾ cup whole milk

Instructions
 

For the Compote

  • Slice, then dice the pears into small pieces.
  • Add the butter to a small sauce pan and melt on medium heat. Pour the pears in, along with the cinnamon and mix.
  • Let the pears soften, then add in the brown sugar. You might want to add a little arrowroot or cornstarch to thicken the compote.
  • Turn the flame to low and let the pears cook and thicken, approximately 2-3 minutes.

For the Batter

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon, then set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla, milk, and oil using a whisk.
  • Combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Fold the batter gently. Stop mixing when the batter just come together. Small lumps are okay!
  • Let the batter sit for 3 minutes on the counter while you prep the pears for the compote. Preheat the waffle iron in this step!
  • Using a large cookie scoop, scoop two scoops of the waffle batter into the waffle iron, with the option to add some leftover pears into the mix if you have any!
  • Close the iron and repeat until all the batter is cooked.
  • Once the waffles are done cooking, ladle 2 tablespoons of the pear compote onto the waffles, topping with syrup, whipped cream, or whatever else you'd like to top with, and serve!
