Method
Waffle Batter

Mix dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Combine batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy — do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the compote (this improves texture).

Cook waffles
Spoon or pour the recommended amount of batter for your waffle iron (usually 1/2 to 3/4 cup for a standard iron). Close and cook until golden and crisp, about 3–5 minutes depending on your iron. Transfer finished waffles to a warm oven (200°F / 95°C) on a rack so they stay crisp while you finish cooking the rest.
Mixed Berry Compote & Fresh Fruit
- 6
Cook compote
Place the mixed berries, 2 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook 6–8 minutes, breaking down larger berries with the back of a spoon, until the mixture thickens slightly and becomes saucy. If you prefer a smoother compote, mash with a potato masher or pulse briefly with an immersion blender.

Adjust sweetness and cool
Taste and add up to 1 tablespoon more sugar if you prefer it sweeter. Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly; it will thicken more as it cools. Reserve warm or at room temperature.

Prepare fresh fruit
While the compote cooks, slice the banana and combine the fresh strawberries and blueberries in a small bowl. Hold at room temperature so they are ready to top the waffles.

Whip cream
Chill a medium mixing bowl and beaters briefly if possible. Pour the whipping cream into the bowl with the 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Whip with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, about 2–3 minutes. Do not overbeat. Transfer whipped cream to a piping bag or bowl.

Assemble waffles
Place one freshly cooked waffle on a plate. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the warm mixed berry compote over the waffle. Fan several banana slices across the top and scatter a tablespoon of fresh berries (strawberries and blueberries). Dust lightly with powdered sugar (about 1/2 tablespoon per waffle). Drizzle with 1–2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and finish with a generous dollop or swirl of whipped cream on top.

Serve
Serve immediately while waffles are still warm and crisp. Offer extra compote and maple syrup at the table.
