Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups eggnog
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Start by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready for the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, and melted butter until fully blended and smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the batter just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep waffles light.
- Pour Batter into Waffle Maker: Spoon the batter onto the preheated waffle maker, spreading evenly but not too thin.
- Cook Waffles: Close the waffle maker and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically around 4-6 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
- Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for a festive finish.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles fluffy and tender.
- Use freshly grated nutmeg for a more intense flavor.
- For extra crispiness, let waffles cool briefly on a wire rack before serving.
- These waffles pair wonderfully with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
- Leftover waffles can be reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
