On cold winter mornings, nothing’s better than a warm and cosy breakfast. And for that, what’s better than a stack of crispy, buttery waffles?

Waffles are a treat enjoyed in all sorts of flavours, both sweet and savoury. A great way to elevate the simple waffle is to pair it with fruit. During this season, oranges are at their best, bringing a bright citrus flavour that complements the classic waffle.
