Make a few extra ears of corn on Saturday so you can stir the kernels into these sweet-and-savory waffles on Sunday. If you don’t have fresh strawberries on hand, you can also make this brunch recipe with frozen berries.

This rustic but elegant dessert is truly easy to make: Just plop the berries (scented with lemon zest and thickened with cornstarch) in the center of your rolled-out dough, fold edges up and over the fruit, and brush on a little cream. Once it’s in the oven, your whole house will smell amazing.
