Spelt Coconut Waffles

Good to enjoy with some apricot jam or maple syrup. Excellent with chocolate or vanilla ice cream.

In the original recipe taken from the cookbook "Waffeln, Crêpes und Pfannkuchen", published by NGV (a cookbook I suggest you to buy if you speak German. The cookbook has been translated in Italian, too, and the name is "Waffle, Crêpes e Pancakes" editore Giunti Demetra), they suggest to use 250 ml coconut milk, 125 g sugar, and 2 eggs. Since I'm not a big fan of eggs, I prefer to increase the coconut milk to 300 ml, use 1 egg, and add some water or milk if the dough appears to be too thick. Please, decide what recipe you prefer to follow according to your taste. :)

INGREDIENTS:

250 g spelt flour (or wheat flour)

300 ml coconut milk

1 large egg

100 g brown sugar (or normal sugar)

1 Tbsp lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:

With an electric mixer mix the flour, coconut milk, egg, and brown sugar in a bowl until all the ingredients are well combined. Add the lemon juice, and 1 or 2 tablespoons water (or more) if you see that the dough is too thick, and mix well for 10 minutes.

I normally don't use any cooking spray, but you can decide to use it or not according to your waffle maker or your cooking habits. In case you are going to use some cooking spray, spray the preheated waffle iron, then pour the dough onto it and cook until golden brown. :)
