Cinnamon Sugar Churro Waffles Recipe | ChefDeHome.com (2024)

This weekend, I'm giving you a delicious reason to dig your waffle iron out of the cupboard, with my eggless, crispy, golden Waffles slathered in Cinnamon Sugar!

Oh - and guess what? These waffles will be the best tasting street fair churros you ever had!!!

Feeling nostalgic? Me too!!!

Street Fair is THE place where I first tasted Churro and I fell in love with it, at first bite!

Oh boy! I must tell you, when I ate churro first time, I did not realize a 1/2 foot long fried piece of dough will disappear, from my cinnamon-sugar slathered paper napkin, in seconds! On top of that, I'll be still hungry for one more!! Seriously, I finished churro, and were eagerly looking for NEXT Churro shop. Can you believe this?

I clearly remember, we were newbies to street fair that day and Vishal was carrying very less paper money. He could see in my eyes, the desire of ONE more churro that he specially took some money from ATM and bought me one more.

We don't get to visit a street fair that often... So, I came home and tried to find a place where I can get churro. I was overjoyed to know that even Costco sells churro in their mini cafeteria. How didn't I notice it before?!!

I'm sure you thinking, why a savoury-food-addict girl is aaaaa-all for sweet-cravings today?! Well, if you have tasted churro, you know, why! If not, I have to tell you that even after being coated in cinnamon sugar, churros are not very sweet. These have just enough amount of salt to make'em sweet and savory...... Perfect for a not-so-crazy-for-sweets person, like me.

Today, my love for churro made it's way to Waffle Iron!!

My drooling love for Churros triggered just when I cut opened one of the waffle... in attempt to take few more clicks.

You know, how brain works?!it takes time for signals to reach from brain to your body parts. I saw a clear example of that when my mouth started working (closer to brain, of course) before I could get away from the plate of churro waffles.

In no time, I devoured almost one and a half of it and kept thinking........ I'm supposed to take few clicks, but..... fragrance of cinnamon sugar and that aroma of cooked dough slathered in cinnamon.... In other words, street-fair "churro" nostalgia.... just forced me to eat it all.

What makes waffles heavy? ›

Overworking the batter will leave your waffles dense and chewy instead of light and airy. And stacking even the most perfect waffles will cause them to become soggy and limp in minutes.

What are sugar waffles made of? ›

Ingredients
  • 12 tablespoons (170g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature.
  • 4 large eggs.
  • 3/4 cup (149g) granulated sugar.
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) King Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract.
  • 1 1/2 cups (177g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour.

What to add to waffle mix to make them better? ›

A classic way to make boxed waffles taste better is to add some vanilla extract to the batter. The addition of vanilla will bring depth of flavor and touch of sweetness to the waffles, without adding any extra sugar.

Why won't my waffles get crispy? ›

Waffle recipes rely on sugar to help the surface of the waffle caramelize—cooked sugar helps the waffle get crispy and stay crispy. You don't have to use standard white granulated sugar, though.

Why are restaurant waffles so good? ›

While the griddles themselves likely vary from one diner chain to the next, diners are pretty much all working with a waffle iron or griddle that's already hot. IHOP, for instance, requires its pans to be heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and uses Crisco instead of butter to grease it, says Grimm.

Which flour is best for waffles? ›

I generally use AP (plain) flour, so I can add my own baking powder and salt, to make sure the leavening is fresh. I like to use a combination of AP and rye or whole wheat flour, for added flavor. Barley flour is also good in waffles, adding a subtle sweetness.

Should I add an egg to waffle mix? ›

A couple of large brown eggs will also help your waffles have the perfect fluffy interior. Add in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, too, for flavoring. Now you can add in the extra fat that your waffles are craving.

Should you let waffle batter rest? ›

Recommended overnight or 2 hr resting – for the tastiest waffles, rest the batter overnight in the fridge or for at least 2 hours. This makes the flour grains absorb the liquid so it makes the inside of the waffles softer.

Why do you let the batter rest when making waffles? ›

I thought I'd try the same thing with this waffle recipe. The thinking is that resting a batter allows the strands of gluten to relax, resulting in a more soft and tender texture. It also allows the starch in the flour to absorb more of the moisture in the mix, thickening the dough or batter.

How to make waffles rise more? ›

Secret #1: Whip the egg whites

Whipped egg whites add extra air to the batter, guaranteeing waffles that'll rise to their fluffiest potential. Use a handheld or stand mixer to make the job easy.

Are sugar waffles healthy? ›

Let's be honest: Waffles may be delicious, but they aren't exactly good for you. They're usually made with ingredients that nutritionists say to limit, such as white flour, butter, and lots of sugar. A Belgian waffle from IHOP, for example, has 590 calories, 29 grams of fat, and 17 grams of sugars.

What do you eat with sugar waffles? ›

These ridges are perfect for holding puddles of delicious maple syrup or whatever other flavors you enjoy. And you can also slather on some Nutella or whatever suits your taste when no one is looking. These waffles are definitely best served immediately, preferably with some bacon and eggs.

Can you eat sugar waffles cold? ›

How to Prepare: Ready to eat. This product may be served hot or cold.

Why are my waffles not light and fluffy? ›

Making pancake and waffle batter ahead of time is a huge no-no and will lead to flat, dense results every time. Even letting your batter hang out for just a few minutes after you've mixed it before you start ladling it onto the griddle will lead to less fluffy results.

How do you keep waffles crisp while making more? ›

Here are some other ways to keep the sogginess at bay:
  1. Place your waffles on a cooling rack in a low-heat oven (don't stack the waffles on top of each other).
  2. Throw your waffles in a toaster to refresh their crispiness.
  3. Make sure your waffle iron is very hot.
