Ingredients
Scale
For the Waffles:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Churro Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Peaches & Cream Sauce:
- 2 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and blended.
- Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix to ensure tender waffles.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease the plates to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour batter onto the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp on the outside, usually 4-6 minutes depending on your appliance.
- Prepare Churro Coating: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the churro coating mixture.
- Coat Waffles: While the waffles are still warm, brush them generously with melted butter, then immediately sprinkle or roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to evenly coat.
- Cook Peach Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the peaches are soft and the mixture becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Make Cream Mixture: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Mix in the softened cream cheese until smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Sauce and Cream: Fold the cooled peach mixture into the whipped cream and cream cheese blend gently to maintain fluffiness.
- Serve: Plate the churro-coated waffles warm, topped generously with spoonfuls of the peaches and cream sauce for a decadent breakfast or brunch experience.
Notes
- You can use frozen peaches if fresh are not available; just thaw and drain them before cooking to avoid excess moisture.
- For an extra indulgent touch, add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
