For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter in the waffle batter. A splash of bourbon or rum added to the pears while sautéing enhances their flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute with milk mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness.
