Description

These vibrant green waffles offer a delightful blend of tropical flavors. Each waffle features a subtly crisp exterior that yields to a tender, fluffy interior. The distinct aromatic notes of pandan are beautifully complemented by the rich, creamy essence of coconut milk, creating a unique and inviting breakfast or dessert experience, prepared fresh in a waffle maker.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the coconut milk, melted butter (or oil), pandan extract, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. A few lumps are acceptable; do not overmix, as this can lead to tough waffles.
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle grids if necessary.
Pour about ½ to ¾ cup of batter onto the hot waffle maker, or the amount recommended by your appliance. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispiness, cook the waffles for an additional 30-60 seconds after they are done.

Do not overmix the batter; this can develop the gluten too much, resulting in dense waffles.

Adjust the amount of pandan extract to achieve your desired color and flavor intensity.

Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.

Reheat frozen waffles in a toaster or oven for a crisp texture.
