Method

Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and desiccated coconut into a bowl and stir to combine

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs then stir in the coconut milk, melted butter and lime zest

Slowly whisk the wet mixture into the dry until you have a nice smooth batter

Heat up a waffle iron and once at temperature, ladle in the batter. Close the machine and cook until crisp and golden – the time will depend on your particular waffle maker but should be somewhere around the 5 minute mark

In the meantime, caramelise the pineapple. Heat a large nonstick frying pan and once smoking hot, add the pineapple wedges. Cook for a couple of minutes on each side until nice and charred all over. Add the butter to the pan – the sugars from the pineapple will create a nice sweet sauce which you can pour over the waffles

Serve up warm with the caramelised pineapple and butter sauce. Garnish with a dollop of cream, lime zest, mint leaves and edible flowers if you have them
