Waffles with Salted Caramel, Banana and Berries

Siúcra’s Waffles with Salted Caramel, Banana and Berries are perfect for a lazy weekend morning and sure to sweeten any day.  This recipes makes a batch of 16 fluffy waffles, which are ideal for serving a crowd.  Sugar cooked down to a caramel, then blended with cream and a pinch of sea salt, makes a smooth and decadent sauce.  Serve warm waffles with ice-cream, fresh in-season berries and banana and drizzle with salted caramel sauce for an indulgent dessert or a brunch worth getting out of bed for.  Any leftover salted caramel sauce can be stored in a jar and used to pour over sponge puddings, chocolate cake, cupcakes and any sweet treats you fancy.
