Buttermilk waffles with pink cherry compote

Note: header image is a recent update, made with frozen strawberries cooked with a bit of sugar and pureed with an immersion mixer.

This post goes with the previous one about cherry compote. I made the compote and served it over these waffles. It’s an easy, no-fail recipe that you can mix by hand in no time.

Heat up an electric  waffle maker.

Pour the batter into the waffle maker, about 2/3 cupful at a time, depending on the size of your waffle maker.
