2

medium pears, peeled, sliced (about 1 2/3 cups)

Preparation

In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, heat all topping ingredients except pears and raspberries over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in pears; cook, stirring occasionally, until hot. Stir in raspberries; keep warm.

Heat waffle maker. (Waffle makers without a nonstick coating may need to be brushed with vegetable oil or sprayed with cooking spray.) In medium bowl, stir waffle ingredients with wire whisk or fork until blended.

For each waffle, pour batter onto center of hot waffle maker. (Check manufacturer’s directions for recommended amount of batter.) Close lid of waffle maker.

Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until steaming stops. Carefully remove waffle. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve waffles with topping.
