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 the waffle maker: Turn on your waffle iron and let it heat up according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agents.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the eggnog and melted butter, whisking until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until the batter is combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Cook the waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle maker, spreading if needed. Close the lid and cook until each waffle is golden brown and crisp, usually about 4 to 6 minutes depending on your appliance.
- Serve warm: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit for a festive breakfast experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles; lumps are okay.
- You can substitute melted butter with vegetable oil for a lighter option.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
- Adjust the waffle maker cooking time according to your model for the perfect crispiness.
- Leftover waffles can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
