Method

Waffle Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Waffle Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Waffle Iron

    Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick spray or a brush of melted butter.

  5. 5

    Cook the Waffles

    Pour enough batter into the preheated waffle iron to cover the surface. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy. Repeat until all batter is used.

Topping and Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar

    In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon until well combined.

  2. 7

    Coat the Waffles

    Once the waffles are cooked, immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the hot waffles to ensure it sticks.

  3. 8

    Serve with Chocolate Sauce

    Drizzle warm chocolate sauce over the coated waffles or serve it on the side for dipping. Allow the kiddos to enjoy their churro waffles!
