Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups eggnog
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing the waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggnog, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter might be slightly lumpy, and that’s okay.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Scoop the waffle batter (amount depends on your waffle iron size, typically 1/2 to 3/4 cup) into the preheated waffle iron and spread it out evenly if needed.
Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's directions, usually 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the waffle iron as needed.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as powdered sugar, whipped cream, maple syrup, or even additional nutmeg for garnish.
