Admittedly, when I’m out and about, I prefer a savoury brunch. That said, homemade waffles slay me. If you don’t have a waffle iron at home, you should get one! You may use it only a couple of times a year, but it’s so worth it. The other beauty about waffles is that they’re simple to make Kev and I once manned the breakfast tent on a camping expedition and managed to keep our weary gang’s spirits high with these quick and easy waffles.
This recipe is all about texture the cornmeal produces a crunchy outside, and the buttermilk makes them light and fluffy on the inside. I love to pair these with homemade lemon curd (page 243) and fresh blueberries, or an organic blueberry sauce.
