These buttermilk blueberry waffles are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Serve with whipped coconut cream for an indulgent breakfast.
Today is Good Friday… but it is also International Waffle Day. Or so I am told. EVERY day is waffle day as far as I am concerned – I am a huge fan. You can have sweet ones, savoury ones, healthy ones, super indulgent ones… there’s a waffle for every mood.
But what’s even better is having them served to you at a hotel. I always find breakfasts the best part of staying in a hotel – there’s just something about having breakfast cooked for you… which probably means I don’t travel enough. No, strike that, I definitely don’t travel enough.
