Tropical Coconut Raised Waffles
Yeast-raised waffles with a tropical twist.
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. The night before, in a large bowl, dissolve the package of yeast with the warm water and whisk to dissolve. Add the milk, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add the flour and whisk the mixture together.  There will be some lumps in your batter at this point.
  3. Add the melted butter and whisk the batter until there smooth and lump-free.  Cover with saran wrap and let it rest overnight.
  4. The next morning the batter should smell yeasty and look bubbly.  In a smaller bowl beat together the eggs, vanilla extract, and baking soda.  Add the egg mixture to the batter, whisking just until incorporated.  The batter will deflate into a thin batter.
  5. Grease a hot waffle iron with a little butter and pour about a cup of batter in.  The amount will vary depending on your waffle iron. Before closing the iron, sprinkle a handful of flaked coconut over the batter.
  6. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions.  It takes 3 minutes on my iron to get golden brown.
  7. Combine the diced tropical fruit in a small bowl and top the waffles with the fruit.
