Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons of gelatin
- 2 Tablespoons of water
- 1 cup of cassava flour
- 5 1/2 Tablespoons of coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons of coconut oil, solid weight, then melted
- 2 Tablespoons of local honey or real maple syrup
- 1/3 cup of hot water
- Blueberries and strawberries, to serve
Instructions
- Put 2 tablespoons of hot water in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the water. Set aside.
- Weigh out the solid coconut oil, then melt on the stove.
- Heat a greased waffle maker.
- Combine the cassava flour, coconut flour, salt, cream of tartar, and baking soda in a bowl.
- Add the melted coconut oil, gelatin mixture, and honey (or maple syrup) to the bowl.
- Add the remaining hot water, stirring continuously. This will form a dough rather than the usual slurry consistency of waffles.
- Add half the dough to the waffle maker and press down. Cook until crispy and holding its shape.
- Repeat for the second waffle.
- Remove carefully and serve with a drizzle of honey and some blueberries, if desired.
