Crispy churro-inspired waffles with a cinnamon sugar crust and a luscious dulce de leche drizzle, perfect for a quick and indulgent breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) whole milk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon sugar mix for crust: ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (120ml) dulce de leche

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron for about 5 minutes until fully hot.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs lightly, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; some lumps are okay.
  5. Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl for the cinnamon sugar crust.
  6. Brush the waffle iron lightly with melted butter using a pastry brush.
  7. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix generously over the waffle iron surface.
  8. Pour about ½ cup (120ml) of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook for 4–5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  9. Remove waffle with a silicone spatula and place on a wire rack to keep warm and crisp. Repeat for remaining batter.
  10. Warm dulce de leche slightly and drizzle over waffles just before serving.

Notes

Ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated to get a crispy cinnamon sugar crust. Use a silicone spatula to avoid scratching the waffle iron. Keep cooked waffles on a wire rack to maintain crispness. Batter can be prepared the night before and gently stirred before use. For gluten-free or vegan adaptations, substitute ingredients as suggested.
