Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oil for frying (if desired)

Extra granulated sugar and cinnamon for coating

Instructions

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or brush with oil.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Incorporate Wet to Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

Cook the Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup) onto the preheated waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until golden brown and crispy (about 3-5 minutes). Carefully remove the waffle and let it cool slightly on a wire rack. If you’re making sticks, cut the waffles into strips.

Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine equal parts of granulated sugar and cinnamon to taste. Roll the warm waffle sticks in this mixture until evenly coated.

Optional Frying: If you prefer an extra crispy texture, heat oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the waffle sticks in batches for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Serve: Serve the spiced churro waffle sticks warm with a side of chocolate sauce, caramel, or whipped cream for dipping.
