Vietnamese pandan waffle (bánh kẹp lá dứa) is a crisp, chewy waffle made with fragrant pandan and coconut. This popular Vietnamese street food treat is lightly sweet, aromatic, and easy to make at home.
Add the pandan leaves to a blender with water and blend until leaves are cut. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibrous bits; set the pandan extract aside.
8 pandan leaves
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients until evenly mixed.
⅓ cup all purpose flour, ⅓ cup rice flour, ¼ cup tapioca starch, ½ Tbsp baking powder, ⅓ cup sugar, 1 tsp salt
Add the wet ingredients along with the pandan extract and combine until smooth and lump-free.
1 egg, ½ can coconut cream, 2 Tbsp melted butter
Preheat a waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease with oil if needed, then ladle the batter into the center of the waffle maker.
Cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the waffles are crisp and lightly golden on the outside and cooked through.
1/4 cup Coconut shavings, 1 Banana
Notes
Here I whipped coconut milk with honey and used it as a dip.
