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.
