Recipe
To prepare cherry sauce:
Combine cherries, water, honey, cornstarch, lemon juice and vanilla extract in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, about 1 minute.
Set aside.
To prepare waffles:
Preheat oven to 200°F; place a large baking sheet on the center rack.
Whisk whole-wheat flour (see Measuring Tip), cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
Lightly beat eggs and brown sugar in a medium bowl.
Add buttermilk, oil and vanilla; whisk until well blended.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Preheat a Belgian-style waffle iron.
Lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Add enough batter to cover about two-thirds of the surface (about 2/3 cup); distribute evenly with a spatula.
Close and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
Transfer the waffles to the baking sheet to keep warm until ready to serve; do not stack.
Repeat with the remaining batter, using more cooking spray as needed.
Warm the cherry sauce over medium heat until hot and bubbling; serve with the waffles.
