In a medium bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, spices, and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined. Beat in the vanilla extract.

Stir in the dry ingredients until a batter starts to form. Stir in the melted butter until combined.

Heat your waffle iron to the desired setting. Once hot, make your waffles according to the iron's directions.

Serve the waffles immediately, topping with cinnamon pears and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter.

Once melted, add the pears and stir. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the pears soften slightly.

Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir and toss gently.

Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the pears are syrupy, caramely, and soft.

Serve immediately on top of your waffles.
