Rose Water Waffles

With rose as the muse, waffles are elevated to extraordinary for a special breakfast, weekend lunch, Sunday supper or even dessert.    With your own fine ingredients from the SimplyCooking® pantry like quality oils, Celtic sea salt, coconut flour and arrowroot starch, plus the SimplyCooking®  spotlight ingredient of rose water, create light and crispy rose water waffles.  In the  SimplyCooking® spotlight on rose,  I  make a culinary and wellness exploration of rose with recipes using rose along with the ingredients in the SimplyCooking® pantry.  

For Rose Water Waffles, coconut flour is used so the amount of all-purpose flour can be reduced. (If you do not have coconut flour use 1 1/2 cups or 200 grams all-purpose flour.)   Arrowroot starch lends lightness. {See Waffles of Insane Greatness!}   A scale is the simplest way to measure and is the best way of ensuring perfect results..  Place the bowl on the scale and zero out the weight.  Spoon in the dry ingredients one by one, again, zeroing out the weight after each.  Add the  liquid ingredients directly into the bowl.  

The recipe will yield a nice stack of waffles, about 8.
