16 waffle recipes worth getting out of bed for

A plate of still-warm waffles is the most welcome of morning wake-up calls. It’s the way the rhubarb and rose compote works its way into the cracks and crevices of Cornersmith’s buttermilk waffles, or how the delicate notes of honey labne pair harmoniously with the citrus waffles with a warm side of oranges and ruby grapefruit. For savouriness, it’s wholemeal waffles with baked beans, chorizo and egg, but if it’s heft you seek, Gregory Llewellyn’s towering waffle stack trumps all challengers.
