Ingredients (4 servings):
- 1 ½ cups rice flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp butter
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup of sugar
- 1 ½ coconut milk
- ¾ tsp pandan extract
Directions:
- Melt the butter either using a microwave or stove, and then allow it to cool at the side.
- In a large bowl, sift the rice flour, tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt (dry ingredients).
- In another bowl, add sugar and eggs. Whisk them together until well combined. Then, add the coconut milk, melted butter and pandan extract. Whisk them together thoroughly.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to be mixed with the wet ingredients and combine until mostly mixed. Then, add the remaining dry ingredients and continue whisking until no big lumps can be seen. The batter does not need to be completely smooth and the longer the whisking, the tougher the waffles will be.
- Heat the waffle-maker to its highest settings and put some melted butter to prevent the waffle from sticking to the waffle iron. Pour about 1 cup of batter into the waffle maker and spread the batter evenly. Close the lid and let it cook for about 4 to 5 minutes depending on the waffle iron model.
- Once the waffle is cooked to golden brown, remove the waffle using a fork to be put on the cooling rack.
- Enjoy the waffles while it hot.
