Every waffle iron is different, and
only with experimentation will you know what works best for yours in terms of
batter consistency, amount of batter needed to fill the iron, baking time and
iron temperature.
Keep the waffle iron closed while baking. |

Toasted Coconut Waffles
2/3 C. sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut
1 C. unbleached all-purpose flour
3 T. sugar
2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
3 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 C. milk (can be half canned coconut milk)
1 t. coconut extract
1/2 t. vanilla extract
3 T. unsalted butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spread coconut on a baking sheet and toast in oven
8-10 minutes, until light golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
Grease, then preheat waffle iron to medium-high or according to manufacturer's
instructions. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda,
salt and toasted coconut. In another bowl, beat egg yolks, milk, coconut
extract, vanilla and melted butter with a whisk until foamy.
With electric mixer, in a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
Make a well in center of the flour mixture and pour milk mixture into well,
stirring just until moistened. With a large spatula, fold in egg whites until no
streaks are visible.
For each waffle, pour about 1 cup batter onto grid. Close lid and bake until
waffle is crisp and well-browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from iron with
fork to protect fingers. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 large waffles.
