The Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, milk, shredded coconut, lime juice, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy.
- Cook the waffles according to your iron's instructions. Typically 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve the waffles hot with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
Variations
- Add some toasted coconut flakes on top of the waffles for an extra crunch and flavor boost.
- Replace the lime juice with lemon juice for a slightly different twist.
- Make these waffles ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Simply reheat them in the toaster or microwave before serving.
Tips
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough waffles.
- Experiment with different flavors by adding extracts like vanilla or almond to the batter.
