Best Crispy Churro Waffles!
Ingredients
For the Waffles
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch, or potato starch
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk, or whole milk
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Churro Coating
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1
In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, combine the buttermilk (or whole milk), vegetable oil, large egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients together until smooth and well combined.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch (or potato starch), 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. The cornstarch helps to keep the waffles light and crisp without making them heavy.

Pour the wet ingredients from the measuring cup into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Let the waffle batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the ingredients to meld and the batter to thicken slightly, which contributes to a better texture.

While the batter is resting, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with cooking spray or a brush of oil.
⏱️ 3 min
- 6
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (for mini waffles, a spoonful is usually sufficient). Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside. Cooking time will vary depending on your waffle iron.
⏱️ 10 min

While the waffles are cooking, prepare the churro coating. In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir well to mix.
⏱️ 2 min

Once a waffle is cooked, immediately remove it from the waffle iron. While it's still warm, brush both sides generously with the melted unsalted butter. Then, immediately coat the buttered waffle with the cinnamon sugar mixture on both sides.
⏱️ 3 min

Repeat step 8 for the remaining waffles. Serve the crispy, fluffy, and perfectly coated churro waffles immediately. They are delicious on their own or with a side of maple syrup for dipping.
