Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar (for cinnamon sugar coating)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for cinnamon sugar coating)
  • About 1 cup (240ml) cajeta (goat milk caramel) or dulce de leche
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, fresh berries, mini chocolate chips, sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions and lightly grease the plates with melted butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour about 1/2 cup (120ml) of batter per waffle onto the preheated iron. Close and cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  6. While waffles cook, mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl for the cinnamon sugar coating.
  7. As soon as a waffle is done, transfer it to a cooling rack or plate lined with paper towels. While still warm, brush or lightly spray with melted butter, then sprinkle or toss in cinnamon sugar mixture to coat well.
  8. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Optionally add a splash of vanilla or a pinch of cinnamon.
  9. Set up the sundae bar by arranging churro waffles, cajeta, whipped cream, and optional toppings in bowls or serving dishes.
  10. Serve and let everyone build their own waffle sundaes, drizzling cajeta and topping with whipped cream and extras.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and tender. Grease waffle iron well to prevent sticking. Apply cinnamon sugar coating while waffles are hot for best adherence. Keep waffles warm on a wire rack in a low oven if serving later. Whip cream with chilled tools for best volume. Store leftovers in airtight container and reheat in toaster oven to maintain crispness.
