- Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your toasted coconut wafers. Use fresh shredded coconut, pure vanilla extract, and unsalted butter for the best results.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the wafers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a Nonstick Griddle or Skillet: This will help prevent the wafers from sticking and burning.
- Cook the Wafers Over Medium Heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Watch the Wafers Closely: They can go from perfectly cooked to burnt very quickly. So, keep an eye on them and remove them from the heat as soon as they're done.
