Southern Fried Bites and Waffles

A classic of American soul-food, this burst of brunch will start your day off right. Crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle, these buttermilk waffles are the perfect base for your lightly spiced Southern Fried Bites. How much syrup you use is up to you, but if you have a sweet tooth, then you’ll probably want double helpings!

If you don’t have a waffle maker or want to save on time and effort, you can buy your own pre-made waffles.
