Ingredients
Churro Waffles*
- ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter (plus extra butter for greasing and brushing on waffles)
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 3 tablespoons (40 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (125 grams) all purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
Cinnamon Sugar
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Chocolate Sauce
- 4 ounces (100 grams) chocolate chips
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
Instructions
- Combine butter, water, sugar and salt in a saucepan and heat up over medium heat until the mixture starts simmering and the butter has melted, stirring occasionally.
- Set the heat to low, add all of the flour to the saucepan at once and quickly stir the mixture together until the dough forms into a ball.
- Cook the dough for 1-2 minutes while pressing it down then stirring and pressing down again.
- Remove from heat and transfer the dough to a bowl. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
- While the dough is cooling, lightly beat 4 eggs.
- Add a quarter of the beaten egg mixture to the dough and stir to combine. Alternatively use a hand mixer. The dough should curdle at first and then come back together.
- Add the rest of the eggs in a few steps, stirring to combine in between. The dough should have a soft and silky texture and stick to the spoon without falling off. If the dough is getting runny do not add the rest of the eggs.
- Preheat your waffle maker. While the waffle maker is preheating, combine the sugar and cinnamon on a plate and melt additional butter to brush the waffles once they are cooked (about 1-2 tbsp).
- Lightly grease the waffle maker. Place half a cup of the batter in the middle of the waffle maker and spread it out. Close the waffle maker and cook until done. The waffle is ready when it is golden brown and little to no steam is escaping the waffle maker. This usually takes about 4-6 minutes.
- Transfer the waffle to a plate, brush with melted butter on all sides and then roll in cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.
- Repeat with the rest of the batter.
- To make the chocolate sauce, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan or in a microwave then pour it over chocolate. Cover the bowl and let sit for one minute then whisk together until combined.
Notes
Waffle Maker: I use a 7-inch round waffle maker, but only fill it half way (4-5 inches) to get thin and crispy edges.
