Gingerbread Waffles With Sauteed Pears

• 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 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup molasses
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup milk
• 3/4 cup vanilla yogurt

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.
