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 Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions until it’s hot and ready.

    Make the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

      Prepare the Churro Coating: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Set aside.

        Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a little butter. Pour enough batter to just cover the waffle plates (usually about ½ to ¾ cup depending on your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, usually about 4-5 minutes.

          Shape and Coat: Remove the waffles from the iron and allow them to cool for a minute. Cut the waffles into strips (about 1-inch wide), then roll each strip in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

            Serve Warm: Arrange the spiced churro waffle sticks on a plate. Drizzle with warm chocolate sauce and serve with whipped cream for dipping, if desired.
