Now, have you ever had a churro? If you've ever watched Two and a Half Men or the Big Bang Theory they make references to this sweet Mexican treat. Jasmin describes a churro like this, "A churro is a golden rod of pure deliciousness twisted and rolled into lots and lots of sweet cinnamon and sugar right after it's taken a crispy bath in steaming hot oil. With one bite you are plunged into a world where both spicy and sweet live harmoniously under the Mexican sun. " 

Sounds amazing right! I especially love when I find recipes that somehow mix Mexican flavors, styles and ingredients with other cultures. In this case Mexican dessert meets American breakfast, yes my friends, a churro waffle. Let's get it on!

What you will need - 

1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour 

1 1/2 cups warm milk

1/3 cup butter melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 shakes of cinnamon                            

  
For the churro topping-
1 cup of white sugar
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of cinnamon 
(depending upon how much you love cinnamon!)
1/2 cup of melted butter

How to prepare your waffles - 

1. In a large bowl mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar then set aside. 
2. Combine churro toppings and set aside. 
3. Preheat your waffle maker.
4. In a bowl beat your eggs like bad children then stir in the milk, butter and vanilla. 
5. Then pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture from step 1 along with the 3 shakes of cinnamon. 
 6. Melt the 1/2 cup of butter and keep warm while you make the waffles. 

7. Spray the waffle iron with non stick cooking spray. Ladle the batter into the waffle iron when it is hot and ready. Cook the waffles until crisp.

8. As soon as you remove from the waffle iron pour the melted butter over the waffle and dip both sides into the churro topping mix of cinnamon and sugar. 

9. If you like you can add a little syrup. Enjoy!
