Pandan Waffles

Recipe Description

Are you looking for a new waffle recipe? Enter these Pandan Waffles, also known as Banh Kep La Dua – a Vietnamese street food treat! Think crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside waffles, but made so much better with the addition of coconut cream and fresh pandan extract. These are a big hit every time.           

To make these Vietnamese waffles, start with the pandan extract. If using frozen pandan leaves, defrost them first. Place 8 sliced pandan leaves and half a cup of cold water in a blender. Blend and strain the pulp, reserving the liquid and squeezing the pulp too. Now, make the batter. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, whisk the wet ones in a different one, and then mix all of the ingredients together. Don’t overmix. Set aside to rest for at least 1 hour. Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron manufacturer’s directions until golden brown. Eat and enjoy!  

To make the Pandan Waffles, you will need the following ingredients:
