Thai Chili Mango Waffles
The specialty of Thai cuisine is the masterful balance of sweet, sour, and spicy elements. The combination of chili and fruit is common in Southeast Asian cuisine, while the waffle is a dessert of European origin. The combination of these two creates this exotic specialty. As the mango slices caramelize on the hot waffle, their scent immediately evokes the atmosphere of summer markets. This dish is an ideal choice for a summer brunch, as a unique dessert, or as a snack for guests. Tip: Try it with other fruits, such as pineapple or papaya, but always remove the leaves before serving. The fresh chili invigorates, while the coconut milk and brown sugar add softness - this waffle is guaranteed to brighten your morning!

Preparation Steps
1
Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then let it cool until lukewarm. Tip: Avoid overheating the butter, as it can affect the texture of the batter.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, and brown sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients together to ensure they are evenly distributed.
3
Add the eggs, coconut milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Tip: The batter should be thick but easily pourable.
4
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Pour in the batter and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Tip: Avoid opening the waffle iron during cooking, or the waffle may tear.
5
Meanwhile, peel the mango, remove the pit, and slice it thinly. Finely chop the chili pepper and zest the lime. Tip: Wear rubber gloves when handling the chili and avoid touching your eyes!
6
Pile the mango slices onto the cooked waffles, sprinkle with the chopped chili and lime zest. Tip: The combination is sweet, fresh, and slightly spicy – a great harmony of flavors for a special breakfast or dessert.
