Treat your ingredients with care...

• Coconut milk — Shake the can of coconut milk well before using to ensure the cream and liquid are well combined.

• For extra crispiness, brush the waffle iron with melted butter before pouring the batter.
• Serve the Filipino-American Egg Waffles with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream for added sweetness.
• Experiment with different toppings such as fresh fruits, chocolate sauce, or a scoop of ice cream to create your own unique flavor combinations.
• If you don't have an egg waffle iron, you can use a regular waffle iron or even a pancake griddle to make larger waffles.
