Knead the dough gently until it feels smooth and elastic.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. <\/p>\n Then, add the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix everything together until smooth (the batter should be thick). If needed, lightly grease the waffle iron with vegetable oil. <\/p>\n Spoon the batter into the iron\u2014about 1\/2 cup for Belgian waffles or 1\/4 cup for standard waffles.

Pour this batter over the dough layer. <\/p>\n Bake at 350\u00b0F for 30\u201340 minutes. After 30 minutes, keep an eye on it and check every couple of minutes to make sure it doesn’t overcook.<\/p>\n Once done, let the cake cool.

Make the pear topping: In a 9-inch round or square pan, melt butter in the oven. Stir in brown sugar, flour, and water (or pear syrup). Arrange pear halves cut-side down in the mixture, placing the tips toward the center (not in the middle). <\/p>\n Prepare the spice cake: In a large bowl, mix all the spice cake ingredients on low speed until combined. Pour the batter over the pears, spreading it evenly. Bake for 45\u201355 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched in the center. <\/p>\n Let cool for 2 minutes, then carefully loosen the edges with a spatula and flip it onto a plate.

Break the tuna into chunks and squeeze a little lemon juice over it.<\/p>\n Add the next three ingredients, along with 1\/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Gently fold in the mayonnaise and the chopped eggs. Chill the mixture for a bit. <\/p>\n Right before serving, line the bottom of a cream puff bowl with some fresh lettuce. Spoon the tuna salad into the bowl. Garnish with the sliced egg and the sifted yolk on top.<\/p>\n Makes 6 servings. Enjoy this creamy, fresh, and satisfying salad!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n Directions<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mash the bananas in a separate bowl, then mix in the milk, alternating with the dry ingredients until you get a smooth batter. Stir in the lemon juice and a beaten egg to finish the batter. <\/p>\n Heat up some oil (vegetable shortening works great) in a deep pan. Use a spoon to drop small scoops of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until they turn a perfect golden brown. <\/p>\n Remove and place on a paper towel to soak up any extra oil. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n Directions<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Start by sifting all the dry ingredients to ensure they\u2019re well combined and free of lumps.
