Instructions

Make the Cherry Sauce: 
    Cup of Yum

  2. In a medium saucepan, bring the remaining water, sugar, and cherries to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Make the waffle batter:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, yogurt, vanilla, butter, and honey until smooth. 
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and there are no clumps- do not over mix.
Cook the waffles:
  1. Lightly grease a preheated waffle maker with cooking spray. Pour enough batter to fill the bottom plates. 
  2. Close and cook the waffle according to the manufacturer's directions or until the waffles are golden brown. 
  3. Remove the waffle from the waffle iron and repeat with the remaining batter. 
Serve:
  1. Serve the waffles with homemade cherry syrup.
