* ½ cup **water**
* 2 **eggs**
* 1½ cup **coconut milk**
* ½ cup **oil**
* ½ cup **sugar**
* ½ tsp **salt**
* 2 cups **all-purpose flour**
* 2 tsp **baking powder**

# Instructions

**1. Extract pandan juice:** Blend pandan leaves with water until finely broken down. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cloth, pressing well to extract the green juice.

**2. Mix dry ingredients:** In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder until evenly combined.

**3. Mix wet ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, salt, coconut milk, pandan juice, and oil until smooth.

**4. Combine:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking just until combined. Do not overmix.

**5. Rest batter:** Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to thicken slightly.

**6. Cook waffles:** Preheat and lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour in enough batter to cover the base.

**7. Add coconut (optional):** Sprinkle young coconut meat over the batter if using.

**8. Cook:** Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is set, lightly golden, and fragrant.

**9. Serve:** Remove carefully and repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm.
