1. 1. Make Dough: Start by heating a saucepan over medium heat. Combine 1 cup of water, 4 tablespoon of unsalted butter, 2 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring this mixture to a boil to allow the butter to melt and the sugar to dissolve.

2. 2. Add Flour: Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Mix until a smooth dough forms, ensuring there are no lumps.

3. 3. Cook Dough: Return the saucepan to low heat and continue stirring for 1–2 minutes. This step helps to slightly dry out the dough, making it perfect for waffles.

4. 4. Cool Slightly: Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes so it’s manageable for handling.

5. 5. Prepare Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

6. 6. Cook Waffles: Spoon out portions of the dough into the waffle iron, using enough to fill the surface. Cook until golden and crisp, usually about 3-5 minutes.

7. 7. Make Cinnamon-Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together 1.5 tablespoon of cinnamon with 4 tablespoon of sugar, creating your churro-style coating.

8. 8. Coat Waffles: If desired, brush your waffles with melted butter before generously coating them with the cinnamon-sugar mixture for that authentic churro taste.

9. 9. Serve: Finally, serve your warm Cinnamon Sugar Churro Waffles topped with fresh strawberries and a dollop of sweetened whipped cream if you like. Enjoy!
