Ingredients (for about 4-6 Churro Waffles):
- 100g all-purpose flour
- 170g water
- 40g unsalted butter
- 25g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 pinch of salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
In a small saucepan, heat the water, butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture starts to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. - Mix the Dough:
Gradually add the flour to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the dough comes together and forms a smooth ball. Let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes. - Add the Egg:
Once the dough has cooled a bit, add the egg and stir vigorously until fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky. - Preheat the Waffle Iron:
Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. - Cook the Churro Waffles:
Spoon the dough into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the waffle iron and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside. - Coat in Cinnamon Sugar (Optional):
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl, and immediately coat the hot waffles in the mixture after cooking for an extra churro-like flavor. - Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your Churro Waffles warm with your favorite toppings like melted chocolate, caramel, or simply enjoy them on their own!
Tips:
- Make sure not to overfill the waffle iron as the dough will expand during cooking.
- Serve the waffles immediately for the best texture—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Enjoy your crispy, delicious Churro Waffles, a perfect combination of two favorite treats!
