Why This Recipe Works

Making these fun churro waffles is incredibly easy once you've cooked up a batch of our Quick Yeasted Waffles. Slicing the crisp, fluffy waffles into churro-size strips and brushing them with melted butter helped a mixture of cinnamon and sugar stick. The microwave made quick work of a chocolate dipping sauce, requiring just four ingredients (heavy cream, semisweet chocolate chips, vanilla, and salt) and 2 minutes.

Before You Begin

You can substitute store-bought chocolate sauce for this homemade version, if you'd like.

Instructions

for the chocolate sauce

Microwave cream, chocolate chips, and salt in bowl at 50 percent power, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Whisk in vanilla until smooth.

for the waffles

Combine sugar and cinnamon in shallow dish. Brush waffles all over with melted butter. Using bread knife, slice waffles into 1-inch-wide strips. Roll waffles in cinnamon sugar, tapping gently to remove excess. Transfer churros to platter. Serve warm, with chocolate sauce.
