These hardcore churro waffles are fluffy, decadent, and coated with butter, cinnamon, and sugar. You likely won't need to add much (or any) extra butter or maple syrup. You also might need to wear sweatpants today. Recipe makes 3 large waffles, so double or triple the recipe to feed a group!

3Tbunsalted buttermelted

Topping:
1/2cupwhite sugar
1Tbcinnamon
1/4cupmelted butter
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and cinnamon. Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter so they can cool a few minutes. Preheat waffle iron.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the milk, melted butter and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mix into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Apply non-stick spray to the waffle maker. Use a 1/2 cup to add batter to the iron and close the lid. While the waffle cooks, melt the butter for the topping and in a separate bowl combine the cinnamon and sugar.
Remove the waffle from the iron. Brush butter all over a side, then sift or spoon the cinnamon and sugar over it. Flip over waffle and repeat. Add more batter to the waffle iron and repeat the process.
