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

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.
