Ingredients
  

For the Churro Batter:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

For Serving:

Chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir occasionally until the mixture reaches a boil and the butter has completely melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Mix until a cohesive dough forms without any lumps.

    Incorporate Eggs: Allow the batter to cool for just a couple of minutes, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing vigorously after each addition. The resulting dough should be smooth, shiny, and slightly sticky.

      Preheat Waffle Maker: Turn on your waffle maker to preheat according to the manufacturer's instructions. If your waffle maker requires it, lightly coat the plates with a small amount of oil or melted butter to ensure easy release of the waffle sticks.

        Cook the Waffle Sticks: Transfer the churro batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Carefully pipe the batter into the preheated waffle maker, creating rows without overcrowding. Close the lid and cook the waffle sticks for approximately 3–5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

          Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: While the churro waffle sticks are cooking, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a shallow dish. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

            Coat the Waffle Sticks: Once the churro waffle sticks are cooked, use tongs or a fork to gently remove them from the waffle maker. Quickly roll each stick in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated for maximum flavor.

              Serve: Arrange the cinnamon-sugar coated churro waffle sticks on a serving platter. Serve them warm with a side of chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping. Indulge in this delicious treat!
