Churro Waffles

I've only had churros a few times, and they are super delicious. The best one I ever had was one that had a filling in the middle, now that was a good churro. If you've never had a churro or do not know what they are, they are a pastry dough that is deep fried and then coated in cinnamon sugar. This creates a treat that is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. 

This concept works with a waffle so well. Waffles are already crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, so all that's left is to coat it in cinnamon sugar. This waffle is a great way to enjoy the flavor of a churro.
