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.

The waffles were good, but they didn't cook evenly. Some parts were overcooked while others were still doughy.

These waffles were a little dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more butter or oil to the batter next time.

The waffles were good, but the compote was a bit too runny for my liking. I think I'll thicken it up next time.

These waffles were a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I'll use less eggs next time.

The waffles were good, but they didn't rise as much as I would have liked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These waffles were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter next time.

I've made these waffles twice now and they're always a success. They're so light and fluffy, and the compote is delicious. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just reheat them in the toaster when I'm ready to eat.
