Method
- Stir the star anise and cinnamon stick into the pure maple syrup.
- Set aside for at least 15 minutes. Tip: the longer you leave the spices in the syrup, the more they will infuse to give the syrup a stronger flavour.
- Cut the pineapple into 6 wedges or slices.
- Melt the butter in the microwave, then mix in the brown sugar to make a syrup.
- Heat a grill fry pan and place the pineapple slices face down on the grill. Pour over some of the sugar and butter mix, and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Tip: avoid moving the pineapple pieces to assure they cook with the dark grill marks.
- Turn the pineapple slices and cook for a further 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Prepare the Waffle Bros. waffles according to the instructions on the packaging (eg. bake in oven at 200°C for 4 minutes).
- Place heated waffles on a plate, and top each with a slice of grilled pineapple. Pour over some of the star anise and cinnamon syrup, and serve with a dollop of double cream.
