Ube Mochi Waffles

Ube Mochi Waffles

This is like "kakanin" in waffle form. It's chewy with a crunchy exterior. Top it with macapuno and a drizzle of coconut caramel sauce. Yum!

Ingredients

(Makes 7 5-inch waffles)

2 ½ cups Mochiko Sweet Rice Flour (I used the Koda Farms brand)

7 tablespoons sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon sea salt

1 can (12 fl oz) evaporated milk

2 eggs, room temperature

1 ½ teaspoons ube flavoring

Procedure

1) Combine and whisk sweet rice flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

2) In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk and ube flavoring until well-combined.

3) While stirring, gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Whisk until smooth and no more lumps visible.

Note : Batter will be very thick.

4) Scoop ½ cup of the batter and pour into the greased preheated waffle iron. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown.

5) Serve with your favorite toppings.

Coconut Caramel Sauce

Combine 1 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium heat until reduced and thickened.

HOW TO STORE : Lay waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze for few hours until they become hard. Wrap waffles individually with plastic wrap (to minimize freezer burn) and place wrapped waffles in a freezer bag.
