FAQs
Can I use pandan leaves instead of pandan extract?
Yes, you can. Blend pandan leaves with a little water and strain the juice to use in place of pandan extract. Adjust the quantity to taste as the flavor may vary.
Are pandan waffles gluten-free?
Traditional recipes use all-purpose flour, which contains gluten. To make gluten-free waffles, try substituting with a gluten-free flour blend suitable for baking.
