Waffles

I love waffles, especially the pandan ones. The combination of coconut and pandan is so irresistible that I never fail to like any desserts or pastry with these two ingredients. Naturally, I was very delighted when we had a school lesson on it during my course. As fate would have it, I fell sick during that lesson and missed it. Nonetheless, I was comforted that I had the lesson material and recipe with me.

Since then, I had been debating whether to buy my own waffle maker... what's the use of having the recipe and not having the tools to make it! A decent one from a reputable brand is not cheap however, and so I held back my buying urge.

Two years later, I finally had the chance to make a very special batch of waffles - dairy and egg free for the Angels, to go with the special ice cream I made for her (I had posted this in an earlier blog: http://little-bake-shop.blogspot.com/2011/01/little-hall-of-fame.html). The waffle machine belongs to the Angels' mum. Today, it sits in my home, short term adoption while the Angels' family is away for a year plus. The first opportunity I had, I made a batch of my favourite of pandan waffles.

Pandan Waffles - first batch of waffles I made specially for myself. Ate 2 big slices of it for brunch on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Some weeks later, I hosted a tea and waffles party for two of my friends family. The kids are overjoyed, especially when they get to choose their own favourite ice cream to go with the waffles.

Tea and Waffles Party - the children really enjoyed their waffles with ice cream more than anything else!
