Then make the batter. Whisk he buttermilk. oil, eggs and sugar in a bowl. Next, add in the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix until the batter comes together but don’t overmix.
Heat up the waffle iron and pour 1/4 cup of batter into the waffle iron. Cook for three to four minutes. Once the waffles are cooked, brush them with some melted butter and generously sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
To make the chocolate dipping sauce, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan and once you start seeing bubbles around the edges, turn the heat off, add in the chocolate and mix until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth. Enjoy with the waffles.
Expert Tips
- You can make the batter the night before, cover it with plastic wrap and the next morning, bring it to room temperature, give it a good stir and then make the waffles.
- To freeze churro waffles, make the waffles and put them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for one hour. Then transfer to a ziploc bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Once ready to serve, place them in a single layer and heat in the oven at 200F, then brush them with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
- To make your own buttermilk, mix two cups of milk with two tablespoons white vinegar, stir and set aside for 10 minutes. Then use it as mentioned in the recipe.
