How it's done

Caramelized pears

Heat the sugar in a wide pan without stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer, swirling the pan occasionally until a light brown caramel has formed. Add the lemon juice and water, cover and simmer until the caramel has dissolved. Add the pears, cover and simmer over a low heat for approx. 5 mins., remove the lid, reduce to a syrupy consistency for approx. 3 mins. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the butter.

Batter

Empty the flour into a bowl along with all the other ingredients up to and including the salt, mix and make a well in the centre. Combine the milk, water, butter and egg yolks, pour into the flour, mix using the whisk on a mixer. Beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff, carefully fold into the batter.

Waffles

Heat up the waffle iron. Brush with a little clarified butter. Spoon approx. 3 heaped tablespoons of batter onto the waffle iron for each waffle, cook the waffles for approx. 5 mins., remove and keep warm. Repeat these steps with the remainder of the batter. Serve the waffles with the pears and syrup.
