Expert Tips

  • I dont’ recommend using flaky biscuits – they’ll fall apart. Use regular buttermilk or southern style Grands or other equivalent.
  • These are best served immediately. They’ll soften over time, and get soggy from the butter and sugar.
  • If you want to substitute crescent rolls, make my Churro Crescent Rolls instead!

Instructions

  • Preheat a waffle maker (mine has a 350°F setting).
  • Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Place melted butter in a bowl. Stir cinnamon and sugar in an other bowl. Line a cookie sheet with paper towels.
  • Place biscuit pieces into your waffle iron, separating them a little so they won’t stick together. How many batches you have to make depends on the size of your waffle iron. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the pieces are golden brown. Carefully remove them (they’re HOT!), dip them in the butter and coat with cinnamon sugar.
  • These are best eaten right away or while they’re still hot. They get soft once they cool. They’re still good though!
  • To make the chocolate ganache for dipping: place heavy whipping cream in a measuring cup or small bowl. Add chocolate chips and microwave for 45-60 seconds. Whisk until smooth, heating more as needed to get all the chocolate melted. Let cool at room temperature.

Recipe Notes

  • I dont’ recommend using flaky biscuits – they’ll fall apart. Use regular buttermilk or southern style Grands or other equivalent.
  • These are best served immediately. They’ll soften over time, and get soggy from the butter and sugar.
  • If you want to substitute crescent rolls, make my Churro Crescent Rolls instead!
