Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg (Freshly grated if possible)
Wet Ingredients
- 5 tbsp Butter (Melted)
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Eggnog
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure even cooking and crispy waffles.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine the melted butter, eggnog, and eggs. Stir until fully combined, then add sugar and mix again until incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and freshly grated nutmeg until evenly mixed.
- Make Batter: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and gently stir until just combined. It's okay if the batter has some small lumps; do not overmix to keep waffles tender.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker with nonstick cooking spray or melted butter. Scoop batter onto the waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 4 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve warm with butter, maple syrup, and an extra sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg for a festive finish.
Notes
- These waffles are rich with nutmeg and eggnog, making them ideal for holiday breakfasts or brunches.
- Serve with plenty of maple syrup and butter to enhance flavor.
- Freshly grated nutmeg on top adds a nice aromatic finishing touch.
- The batter can be slightly lumpy; this ensures a tender texture in the waffles.
