<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>3 pandan leaves</li>
<li>2 eggs, separated</li>
<li>300g plain (all-purpose) flour</li>
<li>1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)</li>
<li>55g sugar</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>50g butter, melted and cooled, plus extra</li>
</ul>
<p><em>For greasing</em></p>
<ul>
<li>125ml milk</li>
<li>375ml coconut milk</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Method:</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Cut the pandan leaves into small pieces using kitchen scissors, then place in a mortar. Add . teaspoon water and pound to extract the liquid from the leaf. Using your hands, squeeze out any further liquid and strain through a fine sieve.</li>
<li>Whisk the egg whites by hand until they form soft peaks.</li>
<li>Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, sugar and salt into a bowl, then make a well in the centre.</li>
<li>Add the egg yolks, butter, milk, coconut milk and a tablespoon of the pandan juice and mix until just combined. Be careful to not overwork the batter, or the waffles will be tough.</li>
<li>Finally, use a metal spoon to fold in the whisked egg white.</li>
<li>Heat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.</li>
<li>When hot, add a little of the extra butter so the waffles won’t stick.</li>
<li>Now pour in 80ml of the batter and cook for 4–5 minutes, until golden.</li>
<li>Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.</li>
<li>Serve hot with tea or coffee, or as a dessert with coconut ice cream.</li>
