Cornmeal Waffles with Apricot-Cherry Compote image

This rendition of a breakfast favorite owes itssubstantial crunch to yellow cornmeal and its subtle tang to buttermilk. Warm, syrupy nectar from the fruit compote seeps into the wafflesfor a touch of sweetness. A dollop of creme fraiche blended with confectioners' sugar adds another layer of texture and taste.

I'm not a huge fan of cornmeal waffles, but these were really good. The compote was the perfect topping.

These waffles were amazing! I loved the combination of the cornmeal and the fruit compote. The waffles were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the compote was the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
