happy love day!!!
who is excited for the winter long weekend ahead? i don't think it has stopped snowing for (what feels like) two months here, so it looks like we will be spending the weekend mostly cozied up at home. i am sharing these waffles just in time for a saturday breakfast in bed or a sunday brunch. they combined two of my favourite things: waffles & churros! think of these as dessert for breakfast, but they also would make for a killer dessert with ice cream (just saying).
these waffles are sweet + chewy, brushed in butter & rolled in cinnamon sugar. to serve, i drizzle them in caramel sauce but a dark chocolate sauce works too! you can use either store bought or homemade, what even is easier. to make the waffles i used bob's red mill's all-purpose flour, baking powder & salt. the ingredients included in this recipe are the type of pantry items you probably already have on hand, so heat up that waffle iron & lets go!
p.s. stay tuned for a video i will be launching next week to kick off a new series (hint: modestm kitchen) i have been working on! EEK, i can't wait.
