Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 0.5 tsp salt. In another bowl, beat the 1 egg with 1.25 cups milk and 3 tbsp melted butter.
Step 2
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined—lumps are fine. Let the batter rest while you heat your waffle iron.
Step 3
Cook the waffles according to your iron's instructions until golden and crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Keep warm on a rack in a low oven.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, combine the 2 cups cherries and 0.5 cup maple syrup. Simmer over medium heat until the cherries soften and the syrup thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 5
Spoon the warm cherry syrup over the waffles and serve immediately. Add a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt if you like.
