Ingredients
  

For the Waffle Batter:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 ¼ cups milk

½ cup melted unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Churro Coating:

½ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

For Serving:

Chocolate sauce, for drizzling

Whipped cream, for dipping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it reaches the desired temperature for cooking.

    Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix—it's okay if the batter has a few lumps.

      Make the Churro Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Mix until evenly distributed, then set aside for later use.

        Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a small pat of butter to prevent sticking. Pour enough batter onto the waffle plates to just cover them, about ½ to ¾ cup depending on your specific waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 4-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

          Shape and Coat the Waffle Sticks: Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron and let them cool for a minute. Using a sharp knife, cut each waffle into strips roughly 1-inch wide. Immediately roll each strip in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are fully coated for that signature churro sweetness.

            Serve Warm: Arrange the spiced churro waffle sticks on a serving platter. Drizzle with warm chocolate sauce for a delightful finish. For an extra indulgent touch, serve with whipped cream on the side for dipping, if desired.
