Ingredients
For the Batter:
1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
For the Topping and Chocolate Sauce:
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
1 teaspoon corn syrup
Nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Directions
In a small saucepan, bring water, butter, salt, sugar, and cinnamon to a simmer over high heat. When butter has melted and sugar and salt have dissolved, lower heat to medium, add flour, and stir rapidly. The batter will form quickly as the flour absorbs the water mixture. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat and allow mixture to stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time to batter mixture, stirring until each is incorporated. The batter will be very stiff and look a bit like buttercream frosting.
Mix sugar and cinnamon on a plate for dipping. In a saucepan over low heat, combine cream, chocolate, and corn syrup and stir frequently until chocolate begins to melt. Turn off heat and set chocolate mixture aside. Preheat the waffle iron. Coat both sides of the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Place about 1/4 cup of batter on each section of waffle iron. Do not overstuff waffle iron—the batter will expand considerably. Close the lid and cook until churros are golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer churros to a plate and repeat with remaining batter. Brush churros with melted butter and then dip them in cinnamon sugar. Serve warm with chocolate sauce for dipping.
