Equipment

• 1 Medium saucepan
• 1 Whisk
• 1 Wooden Spoon or Spatula
• 1 Waffle Iron
• 1 Tongs or spatula
• 1 Shallow dish for cinnamon-sugar mixture

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 Cup Water
• 1/4 Cup Unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1 Tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 1 Cup All-purpose flour
• 1 Large Egg
• 1/2 Tsp Baking powder
• 1/4 Tsp Baking soda
• Cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing waffle iron)
• 1/2 Cup Granulated sugar, for coating
• 1 Tsp Ground cinnamon, for coating

Instructions

 

• Make the Batter:

   In a saucepan, heat water, butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Immediately add flour and stir vigorously until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
• Waffle-fy the Dough: 

  Whisk in baking powder and baking soda. The batter will be slightly thicker than pancake batter.
• Preheat & Grease: 

  Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease with cooking spray or melted butter.
• Cook Waffles: 

  Ladle the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading slightly if needed. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions until golden brown and crispy.
• Coat and Enjoy: 

  Remove the waffle carefully and immediately roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve warm.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Top with your favorite churro toppings like whipped cream, chocolate sauce, fruit compotes, or a scoop of ice cream.

Storage Guidance: Churro waffles are best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature and reheated in a toaster oven for a day or two.

Recipe Notes:

• Batter Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk or water to thin it slightly.
• Cooking Time: Waffle iron temperatures vary. Adjust cooking time as needed for your ideal crispiness.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Cook waffles one or two at a time depending on your waffle iron size.
